In depth
Verdict
Pure Charmer and General Tom Thumb filled the places over a shorter trip here last month with the former finishing just in front. Dashing Rat improves with every start and went close at Newmarket recently. He has every chance but OSCULA is taken to edge affairs having finished clear of the rest when a close-up third at Kempton on last week’s debut. Hidden Haven is a half-sister to a 7f winner and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
