In depth

Verdict

Red Story was well backed at Carlisle last month and may be capable of better. He has more scope than Southwell fourth Cross To Boston. Apache Pilot pops up occasionally at this level and What A Dream is back on a winning mark and should figure. But Alison Hamilton also runs TAMBOUR MAJOR (NAP) and has booked Brian Hughes. The latter ran better than the final result suggests last time at Carlisle, ahead of Red Story, and can race off a 3lb lower mark today.
