It remains to be seen whether the blinkers will bring about improvement from Risker, who didn't want to know at Uttoxeter on his latest outing, while Sunridge Fairy, who was well placed by Pat Haslam to rattle off a hat-trick in minor events, has her first outing for her new connections after being bought out of a seller for 7,000 guineas. She is not very big, but she does jump well and is game. Red Halo, who represents the Pipe McCoy team, has done nothing wrong in winning three minor events, but he looks to have enough on here trying to give 10lb to the useful flat performer Gabor. On flat ratings Martin Pipe's colt is 10lb inferior to Gabor and yet he has to give him 10lb in this, so providing Gabor can jump, he looks the value to overturn the hotpot.
