Verdict

COULDBEAWEAPON had fortune on his side when landing a double at Sedgefield last time but still appeals as the most likely winner if seeing out this longer trip. Sir Carnegie finished a well-backed runner-up at Sedgefield earlier this month and may prove the main danger if jumping better on just his third start over fences, while Radharc Na Slaine could bounce back returning to this sort of trip with Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle.
