In depth
Verdict
Freezing Point and TREMWEDGE will also certainly need further but the latter was only beaten a couple of lengths at Kempton earlier this month and this stiffer track will suit. Whitlock, a dual winner on the Flat is almost certainly better than he showed when sent off favourite at Ludlow and he has more scope than the likes of Caddyhill. Pounding Poet was very disappointing over 2m4f at Uttoxeter but Guetapan Collonges hasn’t performed badly in either start and looks a likely sort for a handicap later in the season.
