In depth

Verdict

An intriguing eight-runner handicap chase in which very few, if any, can be confidently ruled out. Topweight Korakor, who goes well on a fast surface, races off the same mark as when chasing home Its Time For A Win at Aintree last time and has to be respected, as does the hat-trick seeking Carrick Troop. Like the latter, Robbo is also trained by Mary Reveley and, having slipped to a fair mark, he is another to consider. Ballystone, who comes here fresher than most and Monnaie Forte (6lbs wrong), who has his ideal conditions are others worthy of a mention.
