Redkalani was raised 12lb for returning an easy winner over hurdles at Doncaster last month. Now chasing for the first time, he has to come into the reckoning but MYSTEREE is just preferred. The latter made a winning start over fences at Wetherby but mistakes in the latter stages at Doncaster last time saw him well beaten in third. He should go close here with a more fluent display. The Orange Rogue never threatened when placed over track and trip in November and Golans Choice will need to improve on his recent form over hurdles to figure.
