The betting suggested WHAT’S UP RORY would improve last time dropped into this grade over track and trip. He did just that when runner-up to Modeligo and can go one better today. Shintori was second on faster going at Wincanton back in November and can race off the same mark while Winston Churchill has also placed at the latter track in the past. Wabanaki and Going Nowhere Fast were both a long way behind the selection last time.
