In depth
Verdict
Little Biscuit is given the confident vote with Theatre of Dreams and Knock Bridge put forward as the main dangers. The selection is no world beater but she has been in good form of late and was second in a similar event to this at Thirsk last time behind Nova Tor. She proved she handles these conditions on that day and she looks more than capable of making amends for that narrow defeat here. Patrick Haslam sends three to post here but Dane's Rock looks to be the one to follow as he is ridden by stable jockey Gavin Faulkener. He will have had the choice here and as Dane's Rock has shown a modicum of ability in his three starts to date he could go well. Theatre Of Dreams has shown a good deal of ability on his two starts to date and he ran really well when second behind Tiviski at Chester last time. He could turn out to be quite useful so he has to be respected. Knock Bridge ran well enough on his debut when fourth behind Umniya to suggest that he could make the frame, but for the winner we return to Little Biscuit.
