In depth
Verdict
Paris Dixie didn’t shown much on her chasing bow but has won a bumper and a hurdle. Janeslittlevoice placed twice in points but FRANKIE FAULKNER (NAP) had stronger form in that sphere and won a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot on only his second start under Rules. One Man Party may be the pick of the remainder despite being 4lb out of the handicap.
