    Verdict

    This looks a good opportunity for WHIPPERS LOVE who is taken to get the better of Rock A Doodle Doo and Exceedthewildman. The selection hails from a yard in decent form and this consistent colt can build on his recent win at Wolverhampton when he got the better of Thundering Home. He scored in the style of an improver that day and he looks one to stay on the right side of. Rock A Doodle Doo could be the fly in the ointment as he is proven over this trip and it was an impressive performance over this course and distance last time when he beat Bubby Braveheart. Off this sort of mark he should be capable of having his say again, and he has to be respected. Exceedthewildman has won two of his last three races, but he only had one other rival to beat last time and he has more on his plate here. Ana Moutabahi looks to have a bit to find with the other three and is readily opposed, returning us to Whippers Love as the pick.
