Verdict
The progressive Mister Fizz bids for a four-timer raised a further 4lb and should be in the mix once again. But WHATMORE looked to have a more difficult task at Chepstow last month when third in a Grade 3 hurdle and Henry Daly’s charge should be capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Shalakar has been raised 9lb for winning at Ludlow in April while Wilde Blue Yonder has the placed form to figure if at his best on his return. Steel Wave and Secret Legacy are upped in class today and Present Ranger goes handicapping for the first time.
