Verdict

Riddlestown has been in fine form on recent starts, including two successes at this track, as a result of which he finds himself 16lb higher than when scoring here in March. Good ground suits extremely well and it will be no surprise to see him post another competitive effort off this career-high mark. DOUBLETOILNTROUBLE, also a course winner, confirmed his liking for a staying test when scoring over 3m4f at Stratford last month for which he's been raised 9lb. However, his overall chasing profile is one of reliability and consistency and he seems sure to deliver a good account having found his form. Sail And Return has tumbled down the weights to an interesting mark and could go well with McCoy booked whilst High Kite is a fascinating contender. He had a couple of chase starts back in 2012 and the lightly-raced son of High-Rise has been showing up well over hurdles. It's interesting to see him back over fences here for the thriving Greatrex/Sheehan team and he's one to note.
