Verdict

Sword Of Fate is a previous course and distance winner who jumped well when getting back to winning ways at Wetherby. Ashington has only run four times over fences but has won plenty over hurdles and on the Flat. Dreams Of Home is 2lb lower than when landing this 12 months ago and won off an even higher mark at Kelso in December but CORRIGEEN ROCK faces an easier task than at Ascot at the start of the month and can come out on top.
