LINE OF REASON is a Listed winner who invariably competes in Group races and was a close fourth in the King George Stakes at Goodwood. He made an eye-catching reappearance at Lingfield last month and this should be within his capabilities. The three-year-old Rah Rah could prove a real threat as he began his career with victories at Kempton and Chester last spring and then competed in Group company. He wouldn't have been sent to race against older horses at this stage unless thought capable of a big effort. Red Baron is a very smart sprinter who won two handicaps here last April before tackling better company on Turf where he won twice on fast going. He'll win his share this campaign while Barracuda Boy has been going well in strong handicaps this winter and will be at his peak.
