San Juan went close again at Chelmsford attempting to land a treble. He beat Red Allure over track and trip earlier and the latter re-opposes on better terms having finished runner-up here subsequently with Brandy Station behind. But RED STRIPES is overdue another course win having won six times on the Fibresand and after a couple of recent placed efforts, he’s taken to confirm superiority with Tan and gets his head back in front.
