Verdict

THE RIDLER signalled he is ready to strike again when a good recent third at Newmarket so earns the vote off a 1 lb lower mark here. Golden Duke should be all the better for his Carlisle reappearance so could play a part now off a lenient mark. Sparkling Red appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. THE RIDLER
