3/1
Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who won a pair of novice hurdles in the autumn at up to 19.7f. Did too much too soon at Taunton on final outing and has since had a wind op/break. Respected.

Second at Auteuil (for Guillaume Macaire) and easily went one better at Chepstow. Disappointing next 2 starts but got back on track when ninth of 22 in Fred Winter Juvenile at Cheltenham last time.

Hit the frame on both starts in bumpers. Ran a good way below that level on Taunton hurdling debut, but is surely capable of better.

6/1
Fairly useful winner on the Flat who showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a Fakenham bumper on debut in February 2019. Off 17 months but still an interesting recruit to hurdling for new yard.

Forecasts

Hell Red (2/5), Celestial Force (3/1), Trailboss (6/1), Rectory Oak (20/1), Siempre Rapido (33/1), All Shook Up (80/1), I'm Notapartygirl (150/1), Thatsentertainment (200/1), The Bolshoi Bandit (200/1), Blackthorn Winter (300/1), Morning Gloria (300/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for HELL RED having got his career back on track with a solid effort in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival last month. His stablemate Celestial Force may have benefited from a wind operation/break and can pose the main threat, though hurdling newcomer Trailboss also warrants consideration.

  1. HELL RED (FR)
  2. CELESTIAL FORCE (IRE)
  3. TRAILBOSS (IRE)
