WHOSHOTWHO (NAP) finally put a series of admittedly commendable placed efforts behind him with a success here last time over this trip. He has his fair share of quirks but equally boasts a respectable slice of talent and may have too much quality for this opposition off a 6lb higher mark. He does travel well into his races. Florrie Boy didn't shape at all badly on his return to action after an absence of well over 500 days back in May in a competitive Haydock hurdle and hasn't been in action since. He looks a threat if taking to fences. Our Three Sons is solid, can be expected to run his race and Page Fuller's claim will aid his chance further, whilst Royal Village is another interesting recruit to the larger obstacles. Winner Massagot will require a market check on just this second run for Dan Skelton.
