Red gets off the mark in style
Enter The Red (Leigh Roche) comfortably beats Future Earner (far side)

Enter The Red opened his account at the 18th attempt when taking the five-furlong Firville Handicap in fine style.
Leigh Roche’s mount appreciated the step back to the minimum trip, showing a decisive turn of foot a furlong out to settle the issue.
The 7/1 chance struck the front just under two furlongs out, and stretched clear on the far side to eventually win eased down by a length. Future Earner (33/1) kept on nicely in the closing stages to take the runner-up spot, with Cobblers Cove (12/1) a further length and a half back in third.
Winning trainer Aidan Howard said, “The ground and the trip suited. He might go to Wolverhampton in a week or two.”
