Dual Flat winner BLUSHING RED is taken to make a winning debut over timber. He looks the type to do well at the winter game . Kings Inn is surely better than he showed on his hurdling bow here in December and rates a big danger, and Ilewin Geez is a major player if able to follow-up a fine comeback effort at Doncaster recently. Former listed Flat winner Sandro Botticelli would be a good thing if he still retains ability, but that is by no means certain. Flight To Milan, Akkapenko, and the possible improver Nelson's Touch are also worth a look.
