If able to bring anything like his best form over hurdles to this, then
BLACK CORTON should prove very difficult to beat. Paul Nicholls' charge won a Listed novice hurdle at Kempton last October, and has only had one attempt at chasing, and was beaten by the imperious Altior on that occasion, losing little in defeat. He actually out-jumped his rival that day, and that all bodes well for a huge run here.
Spoilt Rotten has been slightly difficult to get a handle on since returning from a long break in January but has some good form in the book and is preferred next, ahead of
Remind Me Later, who now finds himself as a second-season novice, though through little fault of his own.
