SHARRABANG has won races between 5f and 7f so the step back in trip after victory over the minimum here last month won’t be a problem. Faye McManoman gets on well with Stella Barclay’s gelding who can record a seventh career victory. Redzone has gone well fresh in the past so is worth a market check but fast ground remains an unknown for last month’s course and distance winner Cool Dandy, who is 5lb higher and closely matched with Russco. Catterick second Fircombe Hall will handle conditions however.
