BEYOND REDEMPTION has a good strike-rate between the flags though was winning for the first time under Rules when scoring at Wincanton. That was also his first outing since April last year and debut for Harry Derham’s yard and there should be more to come. Unblinking was winning for the first time since 2018 when successful at Hereford but Eceparti finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when second over these fences. Uttoxeter runner-up Get Prepared is preferred to Ballymilan and Last Quarter, who makes his chasing debut.
