In depth

Verdict

Red River Rebel always goes well here and can notch up another success at the expense of Heathyards Pride, Reminiscent and Majestic Vision. Red River Rebel gained his fourth win over the course and distance when beating Heathyards Pride to the tune of two lengths a fortnight ago, and although now slightly worse off at the weights, his affinity with the course can again tilt the scales in his favour. Reminiscent ran an encouraging race for new connections when third in apprentice company at Hamilton, but his previous success in a Leicester claimer gives him something to find. Majestic Vision is still a maiden after 14 starts but ran well in a visor at Brighton, and with the stable in form is another worth a mention, but in truth, Red River Rebel will be a tough nut to crack on his favourite track.
