In depth

Verdict

This looks more like Whitenzo's level and he has an excellent chance at these weights of winning his first race since landing a novice hurdle at Exeter last season. Fourth in the Hennessy he was slightly disappointing last time out at Haydock but if he can be forgiven that effort he looks the one to be on with a top young amateur taking weight off his back. Tom's Prize will be popular with punters following a good victory at Leicester last time out. However the ground may just be a little too quick for him. Putsometnby produced an excellent effort in a novice handicap chase last time out over this course and distance and would have won if not blundering badly on a number of occasions. He is very much respected for a powerful in-form stable. Lanmire Tower has been improving of late and looks ready to run a big race for his new connections though this trip may be a bit short of what he needs these days. Tyndarius would go close at the best of his form but his recent efforts have been poor and is best left alone here.
