3rd
Whistle Stop Tour
9/2
The step up in trip and switch to handicap company produced an improved display from HIGHLAND FASHION and totally unexposed as a stayer, he can defy a 4 lb rise. Authorized Mission has made an excellent start to life with Nicky Richards and he's a huge threat, with Whistle Stop Tour also of some interest.

About The Selections

Dave Nevison

Whistle Stop Tour Went close when returning to hurdling two starts ago and his rider again takes off a handy 10lb. I'm hoping he can hit the frame here, at least.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Authorized Mission could be advantaged by a prominent position which looks likely in this field: Of the better-fancied horses, Fostered Phil is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Phantomofthepoints traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 4 of its last 5 starts.
