    Verdict

    HELL RED has made all in both starts over fences so far. Paul Nicholls’ grey looks worth sticking with in this company, despite dropping down in trip, as he’s likely to get his own way in front again. The remaining trio all make their chasing debuts and Restandbethankful has won off a higher mark over hurdles than Byzantine Empire while the veteran And The New has recently switched yards.
