Verdict
Truckers Highway won on good ground at Worcester in October but hasn’t figured in a couple of subsequent starts while Whitsundays landed a double early this year but hasn’t raced since tailed off at Market Rasen in May. UNO VALOROSO (NAP) returned to action over hurdles at Hexham last month when running out of steam in the closing stages. Mark Walford’s charge should be sharper today and, given he’s only 4lb higher than when scoring over fences at Newcastle earlier this year, he gets the nod. Whispering Harry and Akula continue to struggle and are probably best watched for now.
