Verdict
Course regular Riddlestown reverts to hurdles having completed a double over track and trip back in March. But he’s 7lb higher today while Viva Rafa has yet to win but finished fourth off a similar mark here in July. Richard Johnson was on board DEFINITLY GREY (NAP) when the latter scored over course and distance in September. The partnership has gone close again subsequently and Charlie Longsdon’s charge gets the vote. Aliandy is usually thereabouts and should be winning this season while Agincourt Reef is back on a winning mark if at his best.
