        Verdict

        Little Biscuit isn't the biggest of individuals but she can gamely see off previous winners Nova Tor and Why Harry. She probably wont need to improve too much to take this but Little Biscuit probably is the best named horse in training given her relatively small stature in comparison to her peers. There was a lot to like about her recent victory here and we believe that she can repeat the dose. Nova Tor did little wrong in landing a weak affair at Southwell. She did if anything hang a little left in the closing stages and that trait is sure to have been worked upon since.Kissing A Fool won a war of attrition at Newcastle on soft ground but did not attract too much interest afterwards. Why Harry won a Beverley race in a very modest time under the circumstances. Mick Easterby's pair are watched in the market. Little Biscuit gets the nod.
