Verdict
Nicky Henderson looks to have found the key to WHITLOCK and the former Gosden inmate can follow up his comfortable Plumpton success. Wind surgery may also have aided the son of Dutch Art and he can defy a fairly harsh 8lb rise in the weights and concede weight all round. The ability of Dan Skelton to transform newcomers to the yard is well-known and therefore Lost History must be taken seriously and checked in the market, especially as he hasn't been seen over hurdles since February 2019. Isle Of Aron showed significant improvement on his last start and can take a hand too, whilst the unexposed Red Centre is one to keep a close eye on.
