Despite plenty going wrong at Lingfield MISTER WHO showed a real gutsy attitude to hold on and open his account over hurdles. He looked far from the finished article and trainer Toby Lawes admitted after the race that they think a fair bit of him. He has been given a bit of time since and is likely to have improved. This is a tough race but he could be a nice prospect and at 8/1 I think I’m willing to take the chance to find out. He should be suited by this test and while the handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark I think that could prove telling. Blue Stello was awarded the race at Warwick on sole start last year and is the dark horse in here. The bookies have taken no chance with his odds installing him as favourite though. Message Personnel has experience on side having run well last season. He has had a wind op since so might also run a good race.
