Verdict

ERIC BLOODAXE looked good when making a winning start over hurdles at Naas and he is taken to see off the Gordon Elliott-trained duo Ginto and Mr Fred Rogers, both of whom are similarly promising and greatly respected. There's real substance to the selection's bumper form and he could turn out to be a well above-average novice this season.
