Verdict
Carrigdhoun bids for a fifth course victory and won this in 2016. He is 6lb lower than when fourth last year but isn’t getting any younger and hasn’t raced since November. Blakemount is another with an excellent record around here but he was a long way below his best in two runs in the spring. Cooking Fat won at Perth in July and is still not badly treated, despite a 7lb rise, but Acdc was engaged yesterday at Wetherby. The booking of Richard Johnson for the lightly-raced Looksnowtlikebrian may be significant but a tentative vote goes to SKY PIRATE, who is having only second run over fences but had the form of his Uttoxeter second franked when the winner followed up in a hot contest at Chepstow on Saturday.
