Verdict

CARLTON hasn't troubled the judge over hurdles the last twice but he is a solid operator on the all-weather, particularly round here where he is 4-4. The 5-y-o shades preference ahead of Son of Red, who was successful over this C&D on his final start for Harry Fry in July 2022 and followed up back from a lengthy absence for his new yard at Wolverhampton in December. Wannabe Brave is consistent and should be on the premises, too, but in truth cases can be made for each member of this quintet.

  2. SON OF RED (IRE)
