Trainer with a 60% strike-rate at Hexham this season runs one on Wednesday

IN SUMMARY: Wholestone is now a four-time course winner after winning the Relkeel latest, but he was receiving three pounds from AGRAPART that day and doesn’t get that luxury here. He blasted home over the 2m 4f trip after becoming badly outpaced after three out, once again hinting he would improve markedly for the three mile distance. He ran well over 2m 6f at Haydock in the Rendlesham last season so stamina is of no concern and with conditions to suit, he should take all the beating. Finian’s Oscar is likely to be very popular as he returns to hurdling after failing to improve over fences, but he does have stamina to prove over this distance.
