In depth
Verdict
RED SQUARE REVIVAL appeared to find 2m6f on fast going against him at Leicester and is better judged on his earlier victory at Plumpton so gets the nod in a moderate contest. Winning point-to-pointer Legal Ok was beaten a long way when runner-up here last month though that was over 2m which he would have found too short. Dual hurdles winner Polo The Mumm has never won over regulation fences but is generally thereabouts in this sort of grade so has to be respected. Badilou was having only his third start over fences when a decent third at Worcester in July while Tb Broke Her won a couple of races over hurdles in Ireland and has her first start for new connections.
