RED WARRIOR has come up against the well handicapped Perfect Cracker on his last couple of starts. This looks slightly easier and he gets the nod. Las Verglas Star won at Chester earlier but has been beaten off today's mark since though Muffin McLeay has slipped down the weights and a good effort at Ripon last time suggests he can figure in this. He's fancied to reverse Ripon running with the winner Maybeme while Only Orsenfoolsies is penalised for an easy win at Pontefract but isn't out of this either.
