This is a shocker but official ratings point to the obvious choice of WHIGWHAM, who has managed to earn a mark of 60 and gets 10lb from Thirsk winner Mr Strutter who is ranked just 1lb higher. Melaniemillie is next best in but she's failed to beat a single horse home in her last two starts though she did win at this level at York last summer. Vaux may prove best of the remainder on his first start in this lowly grade.
