Verdict
KEEP BIDDING found the competition too hot in a conditions race over 6f at Epsom last time but had finished a decent second over today’s shorter trip at Nottingham on her earlier debut and gets the vote on that form. Big R made a less promising debut at Salisbury while the rest are newcomers with Matching Sox, a half-brother to seven winners including the useful Graphic, preferred to Cuban Grey.
