Verdict

Whatmore showed a kink in his armour at Exeter last time when running out, but he could still have a major say in this if that was a one-off, having previously shown a good level of ability on hurdling debut. Ex-Andre Fabre inmate Mahari commands respect and would do so even more greatly if attracting support but this might go the way of top-weight GRIS DE PRON, who has already scored at Hereford and Market Rasen and the form looks decent in both cases.
  1. Gris De Pron
  2. Mahari
  3. Whatmore
