Verdict
RED RISING is making steady progress and was only headed at the last when second at Cheltenham last month - a 2lb rise doesn’t look insurmountable on that evidence. Rio Bravo has been placed on numerous occasions but he’s still seeking a first win and stamina doubts remain over this trip. Florrie Knox doesn’t look badly treated on her handicap debut, however, and she’ll definitely stay. Fiscal Space is another having his first run in a handicap and he makes more appeal than Bryden Boy, who is back on a winning mark but badly out of sorts.
