Verdict

BIG THANKS improved when runner-up on his handicap debut at Haydock and, with further progress a distinct possibility, he is taken to open his account at the fifth time of asking. The selection was almost 2 lengths ahead of Tantastic there and while that rival may finish closer if the new headgear combination has the desired effect, recent Chester winner Lost My Sock rates the main danger.
