Verdict
LORD RIDDIFORD bids to repeat last year’s victory in this and warmed up nicely with a comeback third in a handicap at Wolverhampton. He can confirm latest running with One Night Stand on these more favourable terms. Exalted Angel had no luck in-running over 6f here recently and may well reverse earlier form with a couple of these having been beaten by Tone The Barone and Mondammej in handicaps at the end of last year. The progressive Strong Power rattled up a hat-trick of course and distance victories last month but has plenty to find at the weights in this.
