In depth

Verdict

The lightly-raced WIGGLESWORTH has already had two treatments for wind surgery but returned to action at Market Rasen last month with a respectable staying effort in a similar contest. A replica of that level just about sets the standard, but it's reasonable to assume that the Newland operation will eke out further improvement from the 6-y-o and he can land a first career success. Lough Har's best chasing form is there for all to see and if can find a similar level back over hurdles, then he'll be right in the mix too. Just A Whim stays well enough and has a decent each way shout along with Rumble B, who sports first-time cheekpieces.
