| Rich Red is by the sire Redback and, as with Millman and Makbul,
it's 'the rules' that Hannon will by most of the worthwhile sales offerings
for his old inmate. This one cost £28,000 at the Kempton breeze-up
in early March and a tad more than his Bath winner April Pride. He has
to show us an ordinary one at some point, unless he's got a stack of good
ones in 2008, so you suspect more of a midfield finish.

| You've got someone bleating on about size, build and readiness
and the Traditional paddock people going on forwardness of coat and so
on. If you have to mark the above two pictures as the 'comfortable winner'
and the 'slow starting duffer' you ought to get it wrong. The bigger,
shiny, one on the left with the lively attitude is Rich Red who
finished 8th. You could mark him down on the day because the liveliness
strayed into immaturity but he still scores ok and you expect a solid,
promising, run.
