FormscanBy Michael Graham - CORBETTS CROSS is a talented stayer who showed that he belonged at the highest level last season. It is hard to forget how he routed the field by 17 lengths in the Grade 2 National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He then signed off with a fair third in a Grade 1 at Aintree. Heart Wood is another horse coming off a big campaign and he is certainly weighted to make a race of it with Corbetts Cross. Favori De Champdou has a bit to find but was last seen winning a Grade 3 at Limerick in April, while Buddy One is race fit after a decisive victory on chasing debut at Galway.
