WHOSHOTWHO is penalised for a course and distance success during the summer but he still went close when runner-up at Uttoxeter last week and is preferred to Good Man Vinnie. The latter has won point-to-point races in Ireland and debuts for new connections having been well beaten over hurdles on his only previous start under Rules. Hogan's Height was placed in heavy going at Lingfield in March in between poor efforts while Mister Drifter makes more appeal than The Hollow Ginge and Quiz Master having faded in the closing stages of his hurdling debut back in March.
