After winning at Southwell, Cornish Warrior started favourite for an amateur’s race at Cheltenham last month but never got into contention. Sonoftheking and Cabragh would have claims if ready after ab break while Redmond came in for support at Fontwell on his reappearance, though was well beaten. Gorsky Island has plunged down the ratings and Only Gorgeous is also starting to look well treated. Heluvagood was third over hurdles last time and unexposed over fences but BEARS RAILS has the form in the book. A previous course winner, the top weight will likely make the running and can draw the finish out of these.
