Course form points to well-treated runner

No. 11
Red Stripes
3.00 Southwell
1pt each-way at 12-1 with bet365 and Betfred

It is more than a year since this four-year-old recorded his last victory and his last three wins have come at Chelmsford, but he is now down to a mark of only 70 and all those victories came off higher.

Red Stripes landed a 5f handicap at the Essex track at Christmas last year and that came off a whopping 14lb higher mark. He is therefore extremely well treated and has been threatening to cash in on his recent starts.
