WHOSHOTTHESHERIFF will be a short-priced favourite and is impossible to oppose, despite making his debut for the Philip Kirby yard. He made a winning debut over timber at Ayr before finishing second in a stronger contest at Navan. Enfin Phil also carries a penalty courtesy of a win in France last summer but he’s disappointed on two of his three starts for Micky Hammond. Elixer is making his debut under Rules but Molly Whuppie was placed in a bumper here in January. Iwasthefutureonce and Devito'sredrobin have something to find to trouble the selection.
