      Verdict

      RED FORCE ONE has been threatening to get his head back in front since cheekpieces were reapplied and went close over today’s trip at Catterick last month. He gets another chance in this and is taken to confirm running with fourth-placed Oh So Chic. The latter may prove the main danger again though Cuban Cigar will appreciate the step back up in trip and is rated higher over hurdles than Balkotic. Aighear may also improve for this extra distance having placed in a bumper in the past.
