    Verdict

    Dandridge finished ahead of Capital Force at Stratford nine days ago but the latter was challenging the eventual winner when making a mess of the final fence and he could turn the tables with a clear round. ADRRASTOS wasn’t beaten far at Stratford four weeks ago having won earlier at Fontwell. There should be more to come from Jamie Snowden’s charge as he’s less exposed than stablemate Double Treasure. King Alfonso would have every chance with the selection on collateral form but was possibly flattered by his recent victory. Raven's Tower is hard to win with nowadays.
