Connections paid a hefty sum for MR WHIPPED at the Cheltenham Festival sale last March, no doubt in the hopes he'd find his way back to the Cotswolds this spring. His latest Warwick Grade 2 made it three from three over timber and, despite a penalty, he is likely to take the beating now upped in trip and victory here would see him cement a return trip to Prestbury Park next month. Ravenhill Road was turned over at Doncaster last time but, previously unbeaten, he can put in a better effort upped in trip while Red River has the potential for better after a wind operation. Badger Ales Trophy winner Present Man is an intriguing runner for the Nicholls yard and commands respect switched back in this sphere.
