Forecasts

White Rhino (1/1), Bertie Blue (11/2), Glencassley (13/2), Republican (15/2), Surtitle (10/1), Pinnacle Peak (11/1), Leading Theatre (14/1), Jacks Touch (16/1), Tigerten (22/1), Pay The Pilot (33/1), Eyed (33/1), Grasse D'oliverie (100/1)

Verdict

WHITE RHINO is now 19 lb higher compared to when making a winning handicap debut over C&D last month, but the way he went about his business when going in again at Wetherby a week later suggested that he is on a pretty steep upward curve. Indeed, this low-mileage 7-y-o probably has more to offer and he gets the nod ahead of another with few miles on the clock in Bertie Blue. If Glencassley is tuned-up following a break he could also have a say, along with the consistent Leading Theatre.
