Verdict

HELL RED had a valid excuse for such a poor showing at Cheltenham in November and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get back on track following a break/wind operation. Pol Crocan is burdened with a penalty for winning a really weak affair over C&D in December, so Blumen Glory is second choice.

  1. HELL RED (FR)
  2. BLUMEN GLORY (IRE)
  3. POL CROCAN (IRE)
