Having shown precious little previously, WHOSMYDADDY bolted up on his chasing debut at Musselburgh last month and sure to progress in this sphere, Sandy Thomson's 6-y-o is strongly fancied to defy an 8 lb rise and remain unbeaten over the larger obstacles. The main threat may emerge from Heritier de Sivola, who stopped the slide over a staying trip for the first time over fences here 3 weeks ago, while Baron Briggs and Wavelength aren't out of things, either.
