Verdict
Gillian Callaghan runs two in this but Robbie Power's presence on board the returning Redclue suggests he's the stable selection. He's not shown much so far over fences but did win off a much higher mark over hurdles at Navan in November. Camillas Wish and West Ship Master are often thereabouts but neither has so far managed a win under Rules. Neither has ONE COOL CLARKSON but he has been successful three times between the flags and his third at Carlisle in March wasn't a bad effort in context. Town Pond could also play a part.
