Red Clubs displayed a terrific turn of foot to land the Coventry at the Royal meeting and he can follow up today under his penalty, Hunter Street, Upper Hand and Ivan Denisovich look the be the three main rivals. The Barry Hills trained son of Red Ransom had the race sewn up at the furlong pole and really impressed with the enthusiastic way he strode out to the finish. He can give weight and a beating to his rivals this afternoon. Hunter Street was most impressive when landing a Yarmouth maiden last time and should be capable of more improvement. The same applies to Upper Hand who made a winning debut at the same track. The Irish challenger Ivan Denisovich looked a star in the making when slaughtering his rivals at Leopardstown and he must be a major threat to all. In a very open event Black Charmer and Original source are two northern challengers capable of getting involved, but Red Clubs has already proven his ability in this class and he looks the more likely winner.
