Forecasts

Red Indian (1/5), Western Rules (9/2), Shepherd Storm (50/1)

This ought to be a fairly straightforward task for RED INDIAN who has taken well to fences, bettering his hurdles form and scoring in impressive style on his chasing debut at Ayr by 15L. That form has exactly been well advertised but Kelly Morgan’s charge acquitted himself well when thrown into a Grade 1 at Kempton last time and he takes a major drop in class here. Western Rules has plenty to do in receipt of just 6lb would be getting 19lb if this were a handicap but barring mishaps should be taking the runner-up slot ahead of Shepherd Storm who has shown very little so far.
