Verdict

BLAZING WHALE has been enjoying himself in local point-to-points recently and was second in this very race in 2013. Will Biddick is a very accomplished rider at this level and can steer his mount home in front today. In The Tub and Im All Set probably both have more scope than the selection but neither have raced under Rules to this point. Dicky Bob rarely runs a bad race so should figure and Sonoftheking should also be thereabouts.
