In depth
Verdict
Plenty of these come here with solid chances on the book but Bishr - from an in-form yard - makes plenty of appeal to follow up last months victory at Thirsk. The step up to a mile should pose few problems for the son of Royal Applause and the TEAMtalk confidence is just swayed in his favour ahead of Salty Jack and Choto Mate. The Mick Channon-trained Dayglow Dancer also receives the nod for an each way selection after his recent level of consistency. Start Over also comes into the reckoning on this drop back to a mile but is not one to take too short a price about in a pretty open affair
