In depth
Verdict
Rising Marienbard has claims in this as he’s had wind surgery since his third at Newcastle in March. ACHILL ROAD BOY will handle conditions and stays well. He was second over hurdles here 12 days ago and, though not as well treated back over fences, can go one better today as Stop The World has become frustrating to follow, though is starting to slip down the weights. Dee Star only won a maiden hunter chase here last year while Little Windmill wasn’t showing much between the flags earlier in the year.
