WHOS DE BABY landed a gamble at Bangor earlier this month for a first win in 17 starts under Rules and gets a tentative vote here, despite an 11lb rise. West Class hasn’t really threatened over hurdles but should do more now tackling fences as he’s already won between the flags. Speed Demon has started favourite the last twice but was particularly disappointing last time at Fakenham but the maiden Jonagold has been knocking on the door and will be hard to keep out of the frame.
