WHATS UP WOODY landed back-to-back successes in the spring but subsequent punishment from the handicapper has seen him beaten the last three times. However, the first two of those efforts were perfectly satisfactory and he's been afforded a nice rest since pulling up at Aintree in mid-June. He sets the standard if back to his best so gets the nod. Son Of My Heart is due to run on the first day of the meeting and has to be respected if turned out on successive days whilst course and distance winner Solway Legend cannot be discounted off his lowly weight for the Harrison yard that enjoys a decent record at this venue - he shaped much better at Market Rasen last month. Count Salazar has hitherto failed to show any sparkle in four starts this term.
