Verdict

In a weak contest where solid recent form is basically non-existent a chance is taken on the completely unexposed BISCAY BAY who has bumped into some fair rivals in three starts in novice company. Getting so much weight off his rivals here it will be highly surprising if we don't at least see big strides forward. Tamarillo Grove and Silk Run both tend to save their best for summer jumping and they should have conditions to suit today.
