Verdict

Hard To Forget has been struggling over fences but hasn’t run over hurdles since pulled up at Warwick a little under a year ago. Auenwirbel hasn’t been beaten far the last twice but is only a plater. This may be too far for Caswell Bay so we’ll take a chance on RED LION LAD, who is among the least exposed and hasn’t taken to chasing this season. He placed here and at Exeter last term over the smaller obstacles. Kenyan Cowboy won over 2m4f here in November so can’t be ignored.
