In depth
Verdict
A large field goes to post for this handicap hurdle and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Red Society, Rydon Lane, Kosmos Bleu and Yesyes and the vote goes to Red Society. The selection was a fair third behind Bowling Green last time out, he remains at the right end of the handicap and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet in a wide open affair. Rydon Lane rates the main danger on his best form of last season but he will do well to win this after a 201 day absence and for that reason he is opposed. Kosmos Bleu is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Mister Flint last time out and that form has since been franked he runs off the same mark here and has definite place claims. Yesyes won well when last seen over hurdles and then was a fair third in a novice chase but he returns to hurdles on a career high mark and for that reason he is over looked. Of the remainder Claude Greengrass has the ability to go close as he is well handicapped but he does not always ordain to use it so can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Red Society.
