Verdict

Nicky Henderson runners must be feared in bumper company but Good Idea hasn't shown much on either start although this does not looks the strongest of contests on paper. Check his strength in the market is the best advice. Those to have run have only revealed glimmers of ability, such as Miss Maiden Over, Burst Ya Bubble and Skipthecuddles, of which the latter makes some appeal as he ran better than his finishing position suggests on debut. Commanding Spirit, Jupiter's Gift and Kaspian Tern should all be monitored in the market on debut for yards adept at landing such races but a chance is taken on HARDROCK DAVIS. Tom George has his string in fine form and his five-year-old stayed on steadily on his Wincanton debut in a manner suggesting he'll appreciate this staying track.
