Aye Aye Charlie may be one to be wary of having flattered to deceive at Chepstow last time when starting favourite. BITE THE BISCUIT ran a race full of promise between the flags at Lisronagh last month. He didn’t look short of pace and joining a powerful yard will have enhanced his long-term prospects. Franz Klammer, The Last Day and Major Davis are all likely improvers and Second Time Around is a son of Midnight Legend so should have a future under NH Rules.
