Verdict

RED FORCE ONE scored over 1m5f at Ayr last time and this extra distance is not a problem for the hurdles winner and he can go in again. True Destiny placed at Lingfield on his first outing after wind surgery but is best over 2m nowadays while Sexy Beast is regularly in the mix though was still well beaten when third at Doncaster. Tigray was due to run at Yarmouth yesterday with Pax Britannica a non-runner in the same race, though the latter remains 8lb higher than when last successful.
