Verdict

Mighty Whitey has been tailed off over hurdles and on the Flat since finishing second at Downpatrick in March and has a few pounds to find with BACCALAUREATE according to official figures. Sue Smith's charge was a little disappointing when only third in a claimer at Towcester last time and there is a question mark about him on soft ground but he has the best overall form. Air Chief has more to do than when third here in May but Dynamic Drive runs in a seller for the first time and has place claims.
