Verdict

RED ADMIRAL is our pick for this one, ahead of Levitski and Penny Pictures. The selection justified favouritism at Hereford last time out and bids for a quick follow-up, albeit on his debut in handicap company over hurdles. A successful Flat runner as a juvenile, he can further reward connections. Leviktski is a consistent sort over fences and hurdles. Don't be overly concerned if he's seen sweating up beforehand, as he's done that before but gone on to win. He won't want much cut in the ground though. Penny Pictures has won a number of these events in the past, but only once when the ground's been anything but good. John Quinn and Dougie Costellio have won this race for the last couple of years and team up with Holiday Cocktail this time around. You can make a case for just about all of these in a very competitive little heat.
