REDARSENE may be able to take this seller although he's sure to be given plenty to think about by the likes of Singleb and Golden Bishop. The last named merits the utmost respect for Richard Fahey but he has had his problems. He ran a decent race at Great Leighs on his latest start having burst a blood vessel on his hurdles debut prior to that but was reported to have finished distressed and he won't have everything his own way. Singleb has a good strike rate and ran as well as could have been expected last time; he holds as good a chance as anything in this line-up and may be able to gain a first success for his current yard. Bianca Capello rates a second look but Redarsene makes more appeal having run really well in a course and distance handicap last time where he may have been a shade unlucky. Improvement may be forthcoming on his second start for Steve Wynne and Redarsene is taken to take gold.
