In depth
Verdict
Red Rampage gets our vote here ahead of Free To Run and, maybe, Shays Lane. Tyndarius has proven himself capable of winning from his current mark but might be vulnerable off topweight. French import Tregastel is hard to assess but certainly has ability. Gatorade keeps on improving, has won three of his last seven races but is now 11 pounds higher than for the first of them. Son Of Light has a big absence to overcome but Red Rampage could certainly be interesting as he is just three pounds above a winning mark and will be well at home under today's conditions. Free To Run is another to consider as he comes here fit and his rider offsets the five pounds he is above a previous winning mark, Shays Lane comes here fit, has Timmy Murphy booked and could claim a place but Sir Bob is going to have to turn back the clock a few years to get competitive. Put all of that into the mix and it brings us down on the side of Red Rampage.
