RED VISION is penalised for a recent win at Bangor but has little to beat in this. Further progress is expected from Donald McCain’s charge and he can go in again. Cliffs Of Dooneen and Cornell were both well beaten in the same race at Newcastle last time. Robert Johnson is rated higher on the Flat than Outofthegloom but both make their hurdling debuts with the former also having his first outing for a new yard.
