WHITE RHINO bled when pulled up in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster when last seen in March, yet his profile was most positive prior to that and he could be worth siding with to bounce back on return with the booking of Sean Bowen very much catching the eye. Sam Thomas has made a very bright start to the campaign and his Our Power is another to consider. Last year's winner King Turgeon, Johnnywho and Colonel Harry complete the shortlist.
