The faster ground should be much to the liking of Red Hare but there is a sneaking suspicion that the trip could be a little sharp for him around here. He appeared to need further in his last course appearance in December and that is backed by the fact that his last victory was over an extended three miles at Kempton last November. That said he will be his own worst enemy against a fairly ordinary field and Barcelona and the consistent Keltic Heritage may be left to fight it out if Red Hare has an off day.
