Red Admirable won over 2m4f here last month and is upped in class off a higher mark. MINELLA WHISPER found a couple too good over course and distance on his latest outing but drops down a grade today and that could see Richard Philips’ charge off the mark if producing a similar effort. Indian Reel won a claiming hurdle at Leicester in between a couple of modest efforts and Herdswick Holloa finished runner-up on his penultimate start. Max Dynamo has been thereabouts without threatening recently and it may prove a similar story today.
