Formscan - RED METAL had plenty in hand when winning over C&D earlier in the month and a 6lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop the four-year-old from following up. Brecharnon won a bumper for previous connections and showed promise when fourth on his first start for Dan Skelton in February, while Smile John Boy is another to note.
