RED BROOK LAD will go to post in the Montepelier Hunters' Chase at Newbury today.

The 12-year-old, owned and trained by Charlie Fox at his Askerswell headquarters, was last seen at Ludlow in February when Viscount Bankes beat him by a quarter of a length.

The chestnut gelding's training partner Cobreces was also entered in the three-mile chase but was withdrawn because the ground will be too firm at the Berkshire course.
