Verdict
A tight looking handicap but Whatdoidowiththat should go well despite an absence since scoring at Hexham in October as he has scored over this C&D and still looks well treated. WOR ROM is a real staying type who loves soft ground and had no problems landing a Newcastle handicap last time. His rider's claim will help and he gets the vote though San Deng looks a big threat as he would probably have won more easily here last time but for being hampered. John Quinn has his horses in good shape and Not Talking, who didn't take to chasing at Musselburgh last time, can get competitive as he has progressed nicely over hurdles. Fentara hasn't had much experience but took a Newcastle novices event last month and ran quite well on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter.
