This has an open look about it but Notre Pari’s lack of experience would be a concern and the equally-unexposed Stolen Silver was due to run in the 1.00 yesterday at Warwick. The Big Bite was lightly campaigned last season but did win at Doncaster, though he is having a first run for a new yard and may need further. Defi Sacre rattled up a hat-trick at the end of last year but veteran Duke Of Navan is on a long losing run while the going may be too testing for Romain De Senam. ROUGH NIGHT was well behind The Big Bite at Haydock in February but 2m4f on heavy ground was too much for Alex Hales’ charge that day and it would be no surprise to see that form reversed.
