RED DANAHER hasn't had much racing in handicap hurdles so far but is now on a much lower mark than the last time he attempted a race of this nature, and having improving over fences since looks well treated if the switch back to the smaller obstacles doesn't prove to be an issue. For a jockey/trainer combination who tend to do well here, he is taken to see off Panis Angelicus who is good form but may not enjoy this slightly longer trip, and Bocasien Desbois, who should appreciate this distance a good deal more.
