Whatswrongwithyou is an unexposed novice who has a couple of entries at Cheltenham next week. Stablemate Call Me Lord is two from two here and has a touch of class but the weight to match. Silver Streak beat Fidux at Chepstow back in the autumn and then ran well at Ascot, though was an early casualty in last month’s Betfair Hurdle. Le Patriote was always travelling well when beating FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT at Ascot three weeks ago but the latter has every chance of reversing the form here on 3lb better terms and he’s also improving - his stable has a record second to none in this valuable contest. Master Of Irony may have been flattered by his latest fourth at Newbury but Huntsman Son is having a good season and so is Octagon while Highway One O One is nothing if not consistent.
