Snapped a 16-race losing streak last time at Southwell. Has two C&D victories so the switch in surfaces is not an issue. Up 5lb but has won off higher marks in the past.

Landed a couple of races for David O'Meara last term. Back down to last successful mark but best watched having lost form since and with yard still seeking their first winner of the year.

Going well lately winning here and at Southwell before finding a resurgent rival too strong last time. A further 4lb rise takes him above his last seven winning marks over the past two years.

Receives another drop in the weights having failed to threaten on turf last time. Change of headgear now tried in a bid to arrest the slide. Only a matter of time before skilled handler finds the key.

Forecasts

Classic Pursuit (9/4), Mighty Zip (11/4), Borough Boy (7/2), Red Invader (4/1), Roy's Legacy (9/2), Corridor Kid (7/1), Frank The Barber (7/1), Picansort (8/1), Captain Scooby (20/1), Classic Flyer (33/1)

Verdict

RED INVADER has a good record here and won a shade cleverly last time. He holds Roy's Legacy on that form and has more to fear from Frank The Barber who has his measure on form but is difficult to win with. RED INVADER has improved since and his biggest danger may come from Mighty Zip who ran well from a poor draw last time but is ideally placed now for his front running style.
