BABY WHIZZ could have the form of his Killarney victory franked in the previous race and though that was his first victory in eleven starts over fences he's won three times over hurdles and arrives here on a 13lb lower mark. He's taken to complete the double though at the other end of the handicap VALOURS MINION should snatch a place despite the fact he's now had 27 starts without winning. Duroob likes fast ground and would have a chance if the going remains quick but The Baler was a big disappointment behind Baby Whizz at Killarney and it would take a leap of faith to support him after that run.
