      Verdict

      Certainly Red was upped in class bidding for a hat-trick at Newbury and can fare better back at this level. Not At Present is raised 4lb as he bids for a treble on the back of a narrow win at Kempton with the previous winner Khan back in third but BALLINTUBBER BOY is preferred. The latter defied a penalty when scoring easily in novice company at Hereford and the Twiston-Davies charge can continue winning ways now handicapping.
