Verdict

WODHOOH may have lost her unbeaten record behind Lossiemouth at Aintree on her final start last season but enhanced her growing reputation and will be a tough nut to crack here. Celtic Dino beat the subsequent Greatwood winner Alexei comfortably on his return and could prove most troublesome, whilst dual course winner Altobelli can also play a part.
