RED ROOKIE showed big improvement when going close on his chase bow at Chepstow and he might well have given the winner something to think about had he not tipped up at Ascot 18 days ago. He can make amends at the main expense of Pure Bliss, who showed herself to be a useful hurdler when winning at Punchestown in the spring and offered plenty to work on sent chasing at Exeter on return.
