Verdict
Let Right Be Done won at Wolverhampton in January but then went close at Lingfield. Lady Charlie and Seebeedee won last year but, in a low-key finale, RED WORDS is fancied take advantage of this big drop in class as he performed with credit in a decent maiden at Newmarket in the autumn. Merritt Island might do better when upped in trip but has more scope than Ninepins and Zubaidah.
