In fairness they have every right to be sweet on him, he's done nothing wrong, and beat some horses that have franked the form.

I really like Wholestone.
If the Irish novices aren't up to scratch, they'll struggle to get a place even with DD and AK etc
We 'know' the Irish staying hurdlers (open company) aren't as good as the British ones, and West Approach got close enough to UNWIMH to give a really, nice and solid look to the UK Novice staying hurdler form.
Maybe a little hasty, as behind WA and Wholestone theres a bit of a jump to Willoughby Court and Constantine Bay and I don't think either are worth a punt.... I was thinking about requesting a UK 1-2-3 in this race... but don't want to know now

I mistakenly posted this on the preview thread instead of here a few days ago.
A bit worrying for us Wholestone supporters after what Carl Llewellyn said..CL – Wholestone lacks the class for this race. He has had a problem since his last run.
I hope he's telling porkies and maybe just fishing for a bigger price, but he's pretty close to NTD, so it's a concern for sure.
But since then NTD & DJ have both said that he's in great form.
Ista ? have you heard anything ?

I've just pressed my Death Duty position at 9/4, when Wholestone is confirmed NR DD price will shorten and he could be a massive Irish plunge on the day, we all know how bullish Elliott is and I can really see this one getting hammered into a very short price....
