Although he faces a couple of tough rivals here, Noshinannikin gets the TEAMtalk vote. He's a promising chaser, who has his first run of the season. Not only has he won well over both course and distance in the past, but he will appreciate being able to get his toe in . Haditovski concedes weight to all his rivals, and although it is two years since he won over course and distance, he remains capable of getting his head in front. He runs well fresh, loves the course and the ground will not be a problem, but this is the first time he's been partnered by Gino Carenza. Mister McGoldrick could be worth an each-way bet. Although he is having his first run at Wetherby and wears blinkers for the first-time, he is a proven hurdler who ran well enough in the Grade 2 Martell Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. His trainer's horses have been ready to run well first time out this season, Dominic Elsworth is proving to be a useful 3lb claimer and this five-year-old is capable of snatching victory late on. Nemisto made a promising start to the season at Warwick recently, and was second in a Grade 2 event over course and distance two years ago. he could be worth an each-way gamble. While Gohh looked a decent type when winning at Market Rasen in December, but was outclassed here over 2m 4f recently and is best watched for improvement.
