      Verdict

      Confirmation Bias came good the last day when landing an ordinary maiden hurdle over course and distance and clearly enjoys quick conditions, but he faces a tough task to give weight away to CASA LOUPI (NAP). Gary Moore's gelding has only been beaten by Tritonic and Stepney Causeway in four starts over timber and was an easy winner of a poor race last time. It will be disappointing if he does not prove good enough before going on to better things. Ex-pointer, Pretty Stranger, and Libbdan, who has shown some degree of promise in a couple of bumpers, make their respective hurdling debuts.
