Verdict

Casement is respected on hurdling debut for a yard that do well here and whose horses are in good form. Softer ground appears important to him and as a result ACKER BILK is taken to follow up his Worcester success and overcome a penalty. He showed plenty of enthusiasm for this new discipline and had the race sewn up two out, although his task was made easier when the favourite fell.
