TRAINER Steve Gollings holds his Irish-bred gelding Definitly Red (by Definite Article) in high regard, and that is easy to understand given what the five-year-old has achieved in bumpers.

A winner in the final of three starts in point-to-points before fetching £110,000 at the Cheltenham NH Breeze-Up & Horses in Training Sale last year, he made a nine-length winning debut at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve, followed-up in a listed bumper at Newbury, and then finished seventh in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham.
