A tricky opener to the card but there's a lot to like about the claims of REDFORD ROAD who aims for back-to-back course wins after his Grade 2 success here at the International Meeting. The six-year-old will have to cope with conceding weight to all and a drop back in trip but he's proven at this level and may have too much for these rivals. Wide margin Warwick winner Welsh Saint looks like the main danger for an in form Nicky Henderson while Protektorat appears to be getting the hang of things and could have a say with further improvement.
