        Verdict

        The progressive Red Force One has been well placed to complete a hat-trick but is upped 10lb for last month’s success at York. Alpine Stroll, High Wells and I Have A Voice all won their penultimate starts and the latter debuts for a new yard but it could pay to stick with RUSHFORD (NAP). The latter beat both Pons Aelius and First Officer at Sandown when upped to 1m6f and there looks more to come from the Prescott three-year-old over this extra distance.
