A competitive finale with the vote in favour of WHODINI. A low-mileage 6-y-o, he continued his yard's good form when scoring on chase debut at Newcastle 16 days ago and with improvement likely, he could well follow up. The hat-trick seeking Gandhi Maker and Unit Sixtyfour head up the dangers, with Bollingerandkrug also of interest back over fences for his in-form yard.
