Race preview
Roger Pol bolted up under Isabelle Ryder at Uttoxeter latest and he merits the utmost respect under a penalty, but it is PINOT ROUGE who shades preference. Susan Corbett's charge was similarly impressive when on target over C&D in June and, given that she remains competitively treated off 6lb higher, further success looks a real possibility. Idem struggled in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival in March but is no forlorn hope in these much calmer waters.
