Verdict

Littlecote keeps finding one too good and hung badly right when going close at Wolverhampton. She could still prove competitive once again, but TICKER TAPE is taken to improve past her. The half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami took a step forward to finish a commendable fourth when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield and will appreciate this extra test of stamina. Danseuse is bred for middle-distances and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Hello Friend.

Top Tip: Ticker Tape (7)
Watch out for: Littlecote (6)

LITTLECOTE has proven steadily progressive as her trip has increased and is chosen to gain a first victory here. Though she was turned over at short odds last time she was beaten by a useful looking type and should be capable of better again if settling. Ticker Tape was another beaten favourite last time but that effort still makes him look the biggest danger on form ahead of Maneater who has run well on both starts so far and should relish this extra distance.
