Verdict

JON RIGGENS was quickly back on track with a visor added when runner-up in a C&D handicap 5 days ago and, having come good this time last year (won this race from a 2 lb higher mark) he could well be ready to repeat the feat. Noble Nation arrives fresh for this time of year and ought to be all the better for his run at Fairyhouse 4 weeks ago, he's feared, as is recent C&D winner Smoke Them Out and Likedbymike.
