Formscan - Detective won this in 2022 and went close again in last year's renewal, but stablemate REDARNA looks to have stronger claims. Dianne Sayer's veteran arrives on the back of a good effort in the Hunt Cup at Thirsk and a similar effort in this lower grade contest should see him bang there at the finish. Ernie's Valentine won at Kempton last month but it's been some time since he scored on the turf, while Fools Rush In looks no nearer to ending a long losing run despite a slide down the handicap.
