BOB BISHOP made a promising start here 4 weeks ago and should be hard to beat in a weaker contest. The returning Top Tier Gossip is the clear danger.

Verdict
Getaway half-sister to yard's useful hurdler/very smart chaser Midnight River. Showed some ability but failed to match the turn of foot of the more speedily-bred winner when second in weak Stratford bumper on debut in October. Not so good in stronger race at Ascot following month. This is easier.

Verdict
Did best of the newcomers when chasing home a promising winner over C&D 4 weeks ago, lacking the pace to challenge but sticking at it. Entitled to improve and hard to oppose in this company.
