Verdict

A tough one to call, as these are all long-term prospects who can only benefit from the experience. The likes of Aye Aye Charlie and Major Davis have already shown glimpses of ability and are worthy contenders. However, a chance is taken that BITE THE BISCUIT can build on the promise he showed in an Irish point-to-point and justify his £10,000 purchase tag straight from the off. 1. Bite The Biscuit 2. Aye Aye Charlie 3. Major Davis
