Race preview
Whitehaven was a useful performer on the Flat and offered enough in three qualifying runs over hurdles to suggest that his opening mark of 99 is workable in this sphere. Donald McCain's gelding warrants respect off top weight but slight preference is for FOR THREE, who may have made his move too soon when collared in the closing stages over C&D and a 4lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Subsequent winner El Jefe was behind in third that day and completes the shortlist.
