Verdict

RED TORNADO sets a strong standard for the successful Skelton team and is taken to complete the hat-trick after a course and distance victory and a subsequent Sedgefield success. He has displayed a good attitude to his work on both occasions and looks the type to enjoy a good summer. Sanaija is an interesting contender for Nicky Henderson having shown promise on her sole start for the Seven Barrows yard when a fair fifth at Uttoxeter last October. She had some fair form in France and receives 15lb from the selection, though the market should be the most accurate guide to her chance after an absence. The remaining three will need to produce dramatic improvement if they are to figure.
