ALL IN THE RED is our selection in the seller with Blues Minor and Art Value as the most likely to chase him home. A useful handicapper on his day, All In The Red has found his feet at claiming grade and was bought in after landing an event at Leicester. This does look a tougher so we'll take the chance that his ability to win has become something of a positive habit. Blues Minor has struggled to get his head infront this term. A drop into this grade didn't seem to make too much difference in fairness. Art Value hails from a shrewd yard and a return to something like his maiden form should see him as a factor. I Confess was once rated in the mid-80's but that assessment appears to have been misplaced if the recent evidence is taken into account. Deal Flipper is proven on the surface and in the grade so cannot be written off despite needing to make improvement on what we have seen. Charlie Allnut finished behind our selection in the Leicester event already discussed. That was a lifetime best from the Karl Burke runner, who would be much better off if this were a handicap. Brazilian Brush, as an inmate of Hughie Morrison's, has to be watched in the market on a first foray into the grade. Royal Sovereign continues to be tried over seven having previously raced over further. All In The Red gets the nod.
