Verdict
LITTLE BIG MAN only won a seller here last time but this isn't much better. He scored by four lengths so an 8lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up. Dandys Perier scored on the Fibresand at Southwell last month but had finished behind runner-up Black Vale at the same track before that. Drinkuptrig is steadily improving, though drops back in trip for this, while Thataboy may be capable of better handicapping for the first time today.
