Verdict

The market should reveal plenty here but BIG TICKET ran out an easy winner of an Irish point on his sole run in May so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere for his in-form yard. Marsiac shaped with promise when fourth on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and seems sure to go well with this longer trip also a plus, while In The Age and Tiddesley Wood are other newcomers who bring plenty of potential to an intriguing contest.
