Formscan  - THE RIDLER bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot on his latest outing and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 2lb. Richard Fahey's four-year-old should have no issues with this drop in trip and can go one better. The main threat is Mondammej, who is seeking a C&D hat-trick and holds an obvious chance. Paddy's Day is another to consider.
