Barry Nicholls - Chepstow 3.40 10 Red Hanrahan @ 8/1 / 4 Join The Clan @ 14/1 - both each way
Barry Nicholls - " 3 miles in soft at Chepstow will take some getting and Course form
is often crucial here. There are a few back over Hurdles after struggles wit the bigger fences
and the likes of Racing Pulse and Ballyculla will be dark horses to watch. I really worry
about any Kim Bailey horse at the moment but markets have cottoned on so just leave
out Abbreviate. RED HANRAHAN is a scopey and progressive horse, eye catching
on seasonal debut until he tired and Trainer believes he will improve a lot for that; he
could be anything, and a big run here will give Nicholls any number of options for the horse
at Cheltenham or Aintree, where he could be one to watch. Of the older types
JOIN THE CLAN could be on a very nice mark on old Hurdles form, trip and Going
are fine and the yard is slowing gaining momentum for Cheltenham, as it always does".
