Verdict
Under The Red Sky has run the odd good race, including last time at Carlisle, but he’s very difficult to predict and a record of 0-17 under Rules is hardly a ringing endorsement. Master Rajeem has been in good form lately and has won off a higher mark, though his latest win came over hurdles and he is very much a Sedgefield specialist when it comes to chasing. BANDOL departed at Sedgefield last time before the race had had time to develop but he doesn’t normally have trouble with his jumping and won over this sort of trip at Hereford in December - he gets the nod to come good again.
