Strike Red
Soundly beaten behind Dark Thirty and others at York (6f, good) last time but his high draw proved to be a negative; won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he could bounce back today and be involved.

From the connections
“There was a decent pace early on and when they split into two I was sort of in the middle and didn't know which way to go. Strike Red picked up when I asked him and he won well. Hopefully he has another in him. All his form is maybe on the slower side but he loved it out there - Warren Fentiman, jockey.”
“Strike Red had a bad injury last year that you wouldn't really see on Flat horses and more on jumpers. He's been better than ever this year and this worked out easily enough. I always told Richard [Fahey, trainer] he feels like a Group horse and he's a top-end handicapper. There's plenty still to look forward to - Billy Garritty, jockey.”
“Strike Red has been a good horse for me. He keeps winning these big handicaps so I'm absolutely delighted. I didn't think Ripon really suited him the last day. When he gets there he doesn't do a lot. He pricks his earls a little bit - Billy Garritty, rider”
