Verdict
WEEBILL has been placed in all three starts over hurdles so far and his latest second behind the useful Indian Hawk at Warwick is head and shoulders above anything achieved by his rivals. Wisecracker was third in a handicap at Doncaster in January and is the one most likely to chase him home as he has finished ahead of Schap this season and St Patrick's Day was tailed off when third here on debut on October and also when falling on his reappearance at Warwick.
