It's hard to look beyond WHITE RHINO, who completed the hat-trick at Southwell on Monday and there could be even better to come from this unexposed 7-y-o. Shir I Dont Know did the job well when opening his account at Ayr and merits respect, but Irish-raider Bella Union, who shaped better than the bare result at Fairyhouse last time, could be the one to follow the selection home.
