What we lean towardsopen race
Too close to split with conviction. Brecharnon just shades it from Red Metal on coming back at its right interval.
Novice Hurdle over 2m½f on soft going. Brecharnon and Red Metal separate by very little. We rate 7 of the 10 declared; the other 3 lack enough recent form for us to judge.
