In depth
Verdict
Confirmation Bias was slightly hampered at Newbury earlier this month but he was beaten at the time and has become expensive to follow. French bumper winner HOPE YOU DO never looked like justifying strong market support on his UK and hurdling debut at Warwick but he’s been given time off since and should do better now. Gold Link has had wind surgery since last seen and may also be capable of better but Three Socks Morgan is making his racecourse debut at the age of seven.
