Race preview
Wendigo went in by over four lengths on his second bumper start at Hexham in November and he is likely to have his supporters, even with a 4lb penalty to shoulder. However, preference is for TELEMETRY, who was sent off at 100/1 at Wetherby for his debut when finishing second and the third that day has recorded a hat-trick since. The six-year-old should have learnt a great deal from that experience and could improve to take this contest. Any market confidence behind Jeune Prince would be of interest.
