In depth
Verdict
Redouble gets the TEAMtalk nod for his consistency, ability to handle any going and his good course form. Since moving to Ed James the six-year-old has shown steady improvement and looks weighted here to land his first race since last year. Best of the rest could be Ferdy Murphy's Howaboys Quest who has run well fresh in the past and has shown form at this track. If the ground come up heavy the chances of Up The Glen will improve. Trained by the in-form Richard Phillips the eight-year-old is inconsistent but capable of winning if back to his moderate best. Son Of Snurge may possibly not have been suited by Kelso on his last two starts but had previously run up to his best at Hexham last month.
