Verdict

The market will almost certainly be a good guide to the newcomers bumper. Dandy Dan is a £34,000 son of leading NH sire Midnight Legend so should make his presence felt. Inheritance Thief also represents a leading NH yard but TELL IT TO ME is a half-sister to the stables’s Free Thinking, who won a maiden hurdle here as well as two bumpers, and she can make the most of her mare’s allowance and the 3lb claim of Sam Waley-Cohen.
