      Verdict

      RIDDLESTOWN thrives over these fences and is 9lb lower than when third in this last year. He’d beaten Better Days over track and trip earlier and was only beaten half-a-length here last week when ahead of Bassarabad. By The Boardwalk was a dual course winner in 2015 and his latest fourth at Ludlow was his best run for some time. Ready Token could also be interesting as he’s tumbled down the weights and was taking on better opposition last time at Market Rasen. No Buts won’t mind the ground but looks a shadow of his former self.
