In depth
Verdict
Geetanjali, Mr Coco Bean and Global Art are looking to put below par efforts behind them and Snow Ocean hasn’t been at his best since returning to action. Big Country and Wind In My Sails continue to struggle though King's Slipper was thereabouts over a mile at Kempton earlier in the year. But the latter has yet to prove he stays this far and RED OCTOBER is preferred despite returning from an absence. Hugo Palmer’s charge placed over today’s trip at Redcar on his handicap debut and only start of 2019 and has plenty of scope having been gelded subsequently.
