The enigmatic Daklondike attempts to become the second horse this century to win back-to-back renewals of the Tommy Whittle Chase following on from Cannington Brook (2011 & 2012). Outclassed in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury he should prove more suited to this level of competition, but equally he isn't one to trust implicitly. Crosspark is a dour stayer who had his day in the limelight when plundering the Eider Chase at Newcastle in February, but the handicapper has taken swift evasive action since. Therefore, the tentative advice is to opt for the unexposed THE HOLLOW GINGE who took the 2m7f Class 3 handicap hurdle on this card last year (on very testing ground).
