Verdict
A straight shoot-out between HANG IN THERE and Hell Red can go the way of the Emma Lavelle runner, who produced a career-best at Market Rasen last time. The latter has only been beaten once so far over fences in five outings but has 12lb to find on official ratings. Oborne Lady would pick up a nice prize for completing but that can’t be guaranteed.
