Race preview
RED OAK's fourth at Newbury last time reads particularly well as the winner of that contest landed a Grade 1 at Aintree on Friday and the return to novice company can see him back to winning ways. Blues Singer looks the strongest threat based on his Huntingdon victory last month but his jumping can be a bit haphazard at times. Imperfectlyperfect heads the remainder.
