Verdict
RED FORCE ONE, a three-times winner on the Flat, made a very promising start to his hurdles career when fourth in a Grade 2 at Kempton. He didn’t follow that up at Stratford but still has time on his side and this sharp track looks tailor-made for this speedy type. Notre Pari looks the danger on his third at Warwick in May as he stayed on strongly in the closing stages. Northofthewall, Painted Cliffs and Eva's Diva have shown ability but are likely playing for places.
