Verdict

MISTER WHO shaped very well first time up over fences after 11 months off when runner-up at Lingfield last month, and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Toby Lawes' 6-y-o can go a place better at the expense of Deeper Blue, who looked much more the horse he had when ending his first season hurdling when second at Plumpton on return. Chasing-debutant Henry's Friend and Cerendipity can fight out third spot.
