Red Hanrahan^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: J & S Best| OR: 117

7/2

Has some chase experience to his name but in truth isn't progressing and a couple of recent letters in his form hardly inspire confidence either. Trip and ground both fine but could really do with a clear round as a booster.

Form: 2/252-PF

Eric The Third³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 111| D

1/5

In cracking form, winning two of his four chase starts this season and showing a very willing attitude in the process, one that will stand him in good stead. Improving, trip and ground ideal again and absolutely no reason not to go close once again.

Forecasts

Eric The Third (1/5), Darling Maltaix (13/8), Boy In A Bentley (3/1), Red Hanrahan (7/2)

ERIC THE RED goes from strength to strength and his good attitude, plus solid jumping, will always mean he will be hard to beat in company such as this. He can keep his good run going. Boy In A Bentley will be the danger if he can put a clear round in, but that's not a given. Darling Maltaix will do better over fences at some point and isn't dismissed.
