Verdict
THOUSAND MILES looks the obvious choice in this handicap; the list of dangers is headed by Bin End and Cherish The Moment. Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt has shaped with plenty of promise on each of his two starts and there was plenty to like about the way he chased home Alanbrooke at Nottingham. He is versatile with regards to the ground and he looks to hold solid claims and nominal improvement would make him hard to beat over this slightly longer trip which should suit. Bin End shaped with plenty of promise when third behind Mastery at Nottingham on his debut. He is bred to be suited by this longer trip so he has to be of interest. Cherish The Moment was a real eyecatcher on his debut at Newbury in a very competitive maiden, so he could go well and he is one to note in the market. Countenance is an interesting newcomer from the William Haggas yard and a market check is advised. However, Thousand Miles hasn't got many miles on the clock and he is taken to shed his maiden tag.
