Another low key affair and the consistent White Plains gets the vote to see off some moderate opposition. Now ten, he still retains his appetite for the game, which is more than can be said for some of his rivals in this. He may have most to fear from another old timer in the shape of Absolute Utopia, who still has plenty of life in him. He proved his wellbeing when proving too strong for Hidden Surprise here last month, with several decent performers behind and with Dean Corby taking 5lbs off his back, he will be a tough nut to crack.
