Verdict
Red River Valley will have needed his hurdling debut here 12 days ago but has 18 lengths to find with the improving Sforza Castle while Ismael only beat one home at Aintree in May and has been absent since. OLIVERS TRAVELS failed to land the odds at Perth but the dual bumper winner will know more today and can recoup losses.
