10/11

£50,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, French 17f-3m hurdle/chase winner (including Group 1), half-sister to smart hurdler (stays 2½m) Le Patriote. Wears tongue strap. Lots to like on paper, and point winner last month. Interesting newcomer.

Razzo Italiano⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: W T Kennedy| T: H Chisman

40/1

Offered little when fifth of 6 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft, 125/1) 81 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Form: 5-

Red Windsor⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

9/4

Placed on all his three starts in bumpers, staying-on third of 6 at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 80 days ago. Staying type. Holds good claims.

Form: 223-

El Muchacho (10/11), Red Windsor (9/4), Times Are Blue (3/1), Razzo Italiano (40/1), The Red Cleric (66/1)

The market should reveal plenty, but EL MUCHACHO catches the eye on pedigree and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere having landed a point last month. Red Windsor has shown fair form to be placed on all his three bumper runs and rates the obvious threat, although Oliver Sherwood's newcomer Times Are Blue needs factoring in too.
