A pretty modest contest with Trust Me I'm A Dr’s recent fourth here best taken with a pinch of salt. Whoshotwho has to carry a penalty on his first run since October and may not enjoy the forecast going. The Cannister Man was second to a subsequent winner at Fontwell but beaten 17 lengths, though still looks the danger to SMUGGLER’S BLUES. Tom George’s charge ran well for a long way in an above-average contest at Hereford in December on his hurdling debut and will know more today.
