In depth
Verdict
Irish import Boardwalk Knight is a little hard to assess. He's an Irish maiden hurdle winner and a market move would be interesting. Another Dude was just touched off in a similar event last time from the same mark, although he now has a useful five-pound claimer on board. Little Big Horse is lightly raced and has a couple of reasonable placed efforts to his name, although he now drops back in trip from his latest placed run and has not run for 199 days. High Peak and Hollows Mill are held by Another Dude through Argento, although Venture Moore is closely weighted with that horse, also via Argento. Skiddaw Rose has place claims while Sweet Milly indicated some promise earlier in her career but has failed to see it through. It would be hard to make a case for any of the others. Not a strong event and the Irish import Boardwalk Knight would not have to be exceptional to make a winning British debut.
