Two very interesting contenders from the Closutton yard of the champion jumps trainer to consider. Whiteout won impressively over C&D last time out, the smart hurdler taking full advantage of a lenient mark on the Flat. He's gone up 11lb for that win, but remains very much in the melting pot. Stablemate LAWS OF SPIN might be the one to side with however, with the jockey bookings perhaps a nod in his favour. He won all three starts last year, decisively over C&D when last spotted and his expert handler can be trusted to have him spot on for this return to action. Zafayan has twice run well this season over track and trip and should do so again while the likes of Pyromaniac and Here For The Craic are worth considering in the place market.
