Verdict
Having left Willie Mullins' yard in the autumn, bumper winner Who's Cross has his first start for Nicky Henderson but he may struggle to get the better of BULLET STREET. Evan Williams' chestnut was only beaten five lengths by Triumph Hurdle favourite Far West in a Class 2 at Ascot 12 days ago and was entitled to need that first run since scoring at Limerick in November. Take The Mick may do better in handicaps but is still preferred to Euro Trash and Who's Jeff.
