In depth

Verdict

Sorrento King was an easy winner over this course and distance last time out when he easily defeated Strawman, and he will be hard to beat despite his penalty with conditions again in his favour. Ashgar could also go well if the change of stable has had the deserted effect but he is not the most natural of jumpers and if things are not going his way he soon downs tools. Boogy Woogy was a fair third after a long absence last time out and he is sure to strip fitter here but his best form is with a little more cut in the ground. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to take a hand in the finish.
