Verdict

A cracking little heat with all of these expected at some point in the season to win races over fences. One who already has is BLACK CORTON and race fitness may give him the edge in what looks to be his toughest test yet but he is the only one to have raced relatively recently and looks nicely weighted here. His stablemate Frodon doesn’t lack anything in experience for a five-year-old and gives trainer Paul Nicholls a good chance of landing this prize. Flying Angel has the best form in the book so far but may just need this having not run since disappointing up at Ayr. Knockgraffon and Sizing Tennessee complete the field and although both look capable of scoring over fences this term the weights may be against them here.
  1. Black Corton
