Verdict
Nobody Home has done much better since stepped up to this trip and carries a 4lb penalty for scoring at Punchestown on Wednesday. This doesn't look much tougher though DOUBLE WINDSOR looks the one to beat. He gained his first victory on his 22nd start in a Cork maiden a couple of weeks ago when coming home a clear winner and now he's got his head in front can complete a quick double. Leader's Choice ran his best race to date over hurdles at Cork but was behind Tristram Shandy there earlier and the latter again showed himself in good form by scoring at Cork this month.
