Verdict
Boher Lad won twice over the course and distance around a year ago but shot up the weights and has been unable to cope. Corlay, a winner at Auteuil in 2016, hasn't had much racing for Jonjo O'Neill but has the scope to do better and should be ready to show his true worth from this lowly mark. SARTENE'S SON has started at huge prices in his races to date though they have been in decent company. He showed his first sign of ability when staying on over 2m3f at Warwick and looks ready to gain his first victory. Riddlestown has an excellent 13-67 strike-rate over fences and hurdles and likes this track though was behind Boher Lad here a year ago and the winner should confirm the form.
