Strolling Home is well handicapped at his best but he's still a maiden over fences and has had plenty of chances. Corrick Bridge hasn't had many opportunities to shine since an excellent second to Whatever Next at Galway last year but has generally disappointed and looks a little high in the weights while stablemate Another Ambition has yet to prove himself over this trip. SANG BLEU was having his first start since April when chasing home Royal Blood at Galway last month. Pauline Gavin's charge was attempting to defy a 7lb rise that day and is another 4lb higher here but his accurate jumping always puts him in with a shout and he can get back to winning ways. South Liberties could only stay on at one pace on his reappearance at Punchestown last week and has yet to get his head in front over fences.
