Red Admirable easily won a Chepstow maiden hurdle on Friday but didn't beat much and looks worth opposing under a penalty. Tuscan Gold and Barenger have been generally disappointing while Arrayan only won a claimer at Taunton in February and was well beaten in a seller at Stratford on his latest start. Likearollingstone and Barney Cool have claims but are probably high enough in the weights and the one to beat may be BE ALL MAN. Gary Moore is enjoying a good run and his six-year-old won over this trip on his penultimate outing at Sandown before finishing third over 2m6f at Wincanton. He is consistent and can bounce back here.
