I suppose Victtorino (VW) will have to be on the short list as it's 4/5over c/d Inc this race for the last two years.
2023 it won its prep race
2024. 3rd in the hennessey
2025. 16th in the hennessey.

 

[The Fortune Teller]

I've had an each way nibble on Threeunderthrufive.

He's won and placed twice around this course all off higher marks. One of those was his third place in this very race last year behind Victtorino, giving a load of weight away that day he was. He'll have a pull at the weights with that horse this time around.

I think this being his second run after a wind operation might be viewed as a positive too. He ran well a few times after his first wind operation in June 2023. Hopefully he'll improve for his seasonal pipe opener at Wincanton.
