RED TORNADO can take the concluding race for the Dan Skelton stable. The yard took this race in 2015 and the selection wasn't beaten far off a 2lb lower mark when runner-up at Taunton last month. Copain De Classe is worth noting on his return to handicaps here following a novice hurdle success at Wincanton last month and the predicted better ground looks likely to suit him better than the heavy going he pulled up on in his only previous handicap start while Lithic can put a disappointing effort at Sandown last time out behind him by claiming third ahead of Solatentif.
