Verdict

Red Devil Star was only beaten half-a-length in this last year and races off the same mark so has to go on the short-list after a pipe-opener at Newbury. Clondaw Westie has won four of his five starts over fences but is high enough in the weights on his reappearance. Darebin is race-fit and in decent form while Enola Gay ran well on his return to action at Chepstow and makes more appeal than the frustrating Vicenzo Mio and Swift Crusador. CAP ST VINCENT has taken to fences like a duck to water and it would be no surprise if Tim Vaughan’s novice shrugged off a penalty and completed the hat-trick.
