Race Tip

Unbeaten over course and distance SANS BRUIT (7) bids for a hat-trick in this event. Returns after a small break following a decent fourth attempting a lower level 2m handicap chase during the Winter Million Weekend in January at Windsor. Ticks plenty of boxes. RYAN'S ROCKET (9) won tackling this trip three outings back at Newbury on similar ground and can show more after a 2m4f handicap chase sixth at Kempton. Shortlist. INTHEPOCKET (1) was travelling well before falling two out in the 2m Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Expected to make amends. JASKO DES DAMES (6) finished fifth for the second consecutive year in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham last month. Holds ability to play a big role.
