Silvestre De Sousa has a good book of rides today and RED ORATOR is another with solid claims. A winner at this track early this year, he returned to action with a victory over 1m6f in soft ground at Carlisle suggesting today's longer trip will hold no fears. He has Awesome Pearl to beat, however, as the latter had Jorum behind when scoring over C&D last month and his yard bid for hat-trick of wins in this contest. Arch Villain has been in good heart over shorter trips, though collateral form gives him a bit to find with Wolverhampton winner Cellist, while Daneking could also figure back on the Polytrack and stepping up in trip.
