Verdict
Tartan Bute scrambled home when completing a double over this track and trip earlier this month but wasn't in the same form at Wolverhampton next time. River Dart hasn't progressed since completing a double in the summer of 2015 but has moved to Tony Carroll, who will get a race out of him soon. Corpus Chorister hasn't run since October and is making his debut on an artificial surface and over a trip this far but AMANTO (NAP) will thrive at the distance. Ali Stronge's charge returned from a spell over jumps to create a shock over 1m5f here and ,with just 4lb extra to carry and a much more suitable trip, he's taken to complete a double. Marshall Aid can't get his head in front and Chartbreaker has been in poor form.
