Vanderbilt is 0-56 and surely worth opposing again. David Pipe runs Kotki but Tom Scudamore partners GO SACRE GO for Nicky Henderson and the lightly-raced six-year-old gets the vote in only his second handicap. Bolsover Bill was a disappointing favourite at Fontwell following his second at Newcastle but cheekpieces are applied so he can’t be ignored. Mad About Sally also has a chance on placed efforts at Huntingdon and Sedgefield.
