THE WEALERDEALER found only one too good at Market Rasen last time and looks set to open his account over hurdles despite a 3lb rise. Hot Whiskey was still beaten out of sight when runner-up at Plumpton and Miner Distraction never threatened the winner when placed on her last couple of starts. The latter is dropped in class for this and may still figure while Pertinent can also be given a chance as he had gone close at this venue before scoring at Exeter last month. Tiller Belle has shown little so far but better is expected on her handicap debut.
