In depth
Verdict
Red Sun has an obvious chance judged by official BHB ratings but has given little sign for optimism of late and a better bet looks to be Reaching Out, who is preferred to William Tell. The last mentioned has been well held in his last three starts, either on the flat or over hurdles, and is hard to recommend on that evidence but cannot be ruled out on earlier form at these weights. Recent course and distance selling winner Charlie Tango has more to do even in this company today, while Rouge Et Noir has given little sign for encouragement of late and preference is for Reaching Out, who is less exposed than most of these and looks well treated for his return to hurdling.
