In depth

Verdict

Red Admiral is the pick on form but is not the most straight forward and he looks one to oppose at the likely odds. Rising Force is the pick on his second start over flights following a hurdling debut where he indicated some promise. Supported at big prices before that race, stamina is a slight concern but with big question marks lingering with regard Red Admiral's attitude, Rising Force could well be the one to avail. Red Admiral was formerly a decent flat handicapper for Godolphin but not for the first time last time, he threw in the towel very quickly. Calgary Jack deserves respect given connections but will need to improve on what he has shown so far. Rising Force is selected to land the opener.
