Verdict
Winning bumper COMMANCHE RED could hardly have made a better start over hurdles, scoring at Fontwell by 18l. It wasn't the greatest of races but normal progress should see him defy a penalty. Getaway Trump was beaten 16l by the selection in a Kempton bumper and hasn't shown much over timber but Go Forrit will have learnt from his mistakes at Fontwell. Sheila's Fancy was a long way behind in the latter event but Talktomenow is interesting having defied trouble in-running to score between the flags in April.
