Verdict
Raccoon can take advantage of a 5lb pull for a nose with Whinhill House and reverse the form with that rival to land this sprint handicap. The selection has the better of the draw here also, with a low number, and acts on good ground or faster, so unless the rains come again he should be fine on this surface and we'll go with him. Whinhill House is clearly in great nick and has won off plenty higher than this in the past, though his current assessment is no mistake as he has been on the wain. Even so, he can go well once more in this ordinary contest. Toy Top is not as good as he was but does pop up now and again and has won twice over c&d, so don't rule him out. Mister Rooney and Windjammer both have a bit too much weight but the first time visor makes Hawaii Prince interesting with Adrian Nicholls up and money for him would be a bit of a concern for backers of our selection Raccoon.
