In depth
Verdict
This could be an above-average bumper. Diamond River has already placed at Warwick and Kempton while Whataboutwalt faced a tough task on debut at Cheltenham. DONNIE AZOFF ran green at Southwell but wasn’t beaten far by a subsequent winner who had point-to-point experience and he’ll know more today. Fit To Fly is a half-sister to Flat winners and Nellie Kernow, by the same sire, is a half-sister to a winner on the Flat and one over jumps so neither can be ignored.
