    Verdict

    Paul Nicholls returns Red Force One to the Flat but the grey is now 10lb higher than when scoring at Newbury last year for Tom Dascombe’s yard. The latter runs Finniston Farm in this but his win here in September came over 1m4f. Scottish Summit still looks too high in the weights but NEW SHOW faced a tougher task at Newmarket last time so makes more appeal in this grade on an earlier win at Windsor.
