Verdict

RED ACRES MAX made a bright start to his career in bumpers, getting off the mark at the second attempt with something in hand at Carlisle, and appeals as one to keep on the right side as he goes over hurdles. He gets the vote ahead of New Rules, whose yard enjoy plenty of success with hurdling debutants, while Pitch And Toss is another to consider.

9	Comfortable winner of an Irish point, but failed to meet expectations on Rules debut when sixth of 14 in bumper at Kempton in February. However, he's one to note as he goes hurdling for his leading yard, especially if the support returns. 3rd Pick 9 Pitch And Toss (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	94	-	-	-	19%
