Red Or White (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 3lbs
Or: 94

Modest maiden who ran as well as he ever has when 6¾ lengths third of 9 to Speculateur on return from 9 months off at Sligo last time. Looks up against it in this company on first try at 3m, however.

Master Haku (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Or: 119

Promising sort who overcame the odd sign of greenness when landing the odds in 14-runner novice hurdle here (2m, good to soft) in April. Looked sure to be suited by longer trips but disappointed when upped to 2½m last time and tackles even further now. Needs to bounce back.

Defied odds of 100-1 when winning 19f mares maiden at Cork by head from Divaboriva, coming from further back than ideal in a race run at a modest gallop. Will be suited by this step up in trip and improvement looks very likely. The one to beat.

No better than mid-field in a couple of bumpers and didn't get very far on hurdling debut, racing freely and unseating at the third.

Timeform Verdict

LOCAL NEWS caused a shock on debut but there was little fluke about that performance and she is selected to go in again with 3m expected to suit. Lemmy Caution remains open to improvement and looks the chief threat, while Master Haku is capable of being involved if bouncing back from a poor effort last time.
