In depth
Verdict
A competitive affair rounds off proceedings. Must Bite showed fair form in his native Ireland. He is sure to have been well schooled is proven on the ground and he looks fairly treated for this his first run for the O'Neill yard. Commanche Drums was a fair third behind Bravo last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Annie Byers was third behind Quiet Water last time doing all her best work at the finish and she has definite place claims with the extra distance sure to suit. Of the remainder High Peak could also go well as he was staying on well over a shorter trip last time and the longer trip will suit.
