Redarna¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 80| CD

7/1

7-time C&D winner. 17/2, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. A three-time winner of this, including 12 months ago, so this veteran is a player once more.

Forecasts

Quest For Fun (13/8), Tactical Plan (5/1), Kelpie Grey (6/1), Redarna (7/1), Rock Melody (8/1), Al Muqdad (8/1), Liamarty Dreams (11/1), Abduction (12/1), Count Palatine (14/1), Priapos (80/1)

QUEST FOR FUN signalled he is ready to strike again when an excellent recent second over C&D so looks the way to go here. Veteran Redarna is feared most in his bid for a fourth success in this contest, although another past winner Abduction is also well in the mix. Tactical Plan completes the shortlist.
