Verdict

CLONDAW RIGGER has a rise in the weights to contend with but won by seven lengths at Chepstow and should be bang there at the finish once again. Guerrilla Tactics won at Stratford before disappointing last time while Mr Satco went close over 2m4f here on his penultimate outing. Asking Questions struggled in better company at Cheltenham last month but is not easily dismissed back at this level and All Kings is not badly treated if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.
