Keith Dalgleish has placed So It's War cleverly to complete a double in similar handicaps at Beverley and Redcar and he's only 4lb higher so looks to have a fair chance of the hat-trick. However, RED CHARMER was beaten just a nose in the first of those races and the revised weights are very much in his favour so he should take revenge and land this. Broctune Papa Gio is also well in on his close second to So It's War at Redcar, when Rocket Ronnie was fourth and looks held, but Shearian doesn't win often enough and is overlooked despite two fine performances on this track last month.
