WHIZZ KID has been most impressive in running out a wide-margin winner of a couple of novice hurdles and, with 125 appealing as a rather lenient opening mark, he gets the nod to take this wide-open handicap. Richmond Lake is an obvious threat and the Imperial Cup third, Hacker des Places, is another one to be interested in.
