Minella Whisper has been raised 6lb for winning at Huntingdon but his yard seems in decent form at present. Fizzlestix has taken well to hurdling second time around and Sam Noir produced a better effort off this mark last time at Market Rasen. DEFINATELY VINNIE is still creeping up the handicap and has been running well over this sort of trip. He doesn’t have old nemesis Flashjack to contend with today and it was good ground when he won his maiden at Hereford in November. Quinto goes well for Bryony Frost but prefers the mud.
