WHITECREST looks to be still on the improve and having ran third at the course in the past over six furlongs, we are hopeful that this drop back from seven will make all the difference. Winniepeg is closely related to a number of winning sprinters including Holborn. Hot Toddie is a half-sister to Cava Bien. Buddy Miracle has had some obvious opportunities to strike earlier in the past and while respected, the BHA assessor actually believes she has gone backwards. Richmond Fontaine is bred for further whilst the rare booking of Kieren Fallon by Mark Brisbourne for Whipphound is noteworthy on many levels.
