Verdict
The veteran Redemption is taken to land this claimer at the expense of Highland Games and Win A Rose. The selection was claimed from the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard after winning in this grade at Marker Rasen. He then went onto finish a fair second to Prime Contender at Worcester. This onetime useful hurdler and chaser has seen his best days but he still has the ability to be competitive in this company so is given respect. Highland Games was claimed from Evan Williams after winning at Fontwell back in May and has since run with credit. He is dropped back in claiming company after disappointing in a handicap last time out so is one to note. As is Win A Rose who scored in a Uttoxeter handicap after over a year lay off and ran with respect when third at the same venue last time out and with the stable in fine form she ought to be in the shake up once again. But for the winner we return to Redemption.
