Verdict
Red Admiral should take all the beating here; Weather Front would appear to be the obvious danger. The selection stands out on form and it's hard to look beyond Charlie Mann's gelding in the opener. A decent handicapper on the level, he has taken a little time to get his act together over hurdles but there's been nothing wrong with the form of his last two runs and this is significantly easier. It would be a turn up were he not to win. Weather Front is making his hurdling debut this afternoon and has run well enough in bumpers to suggest that he can win races in this sphere if he takes to jumping. He may be able to make a race of it. Few of the remainder make any appeal and Red Admiral should land the spoils.
