Race Tip

SUPREMELY WEST (2) left a lesser effort behind when scoring in strong style over 3m at Cheltenham last time and that performance gives him a major chance to go back to back. HOLD THE SERVE (17) continued his excellent rise through the ranks with a third straight hurdles victory at Kempton tackling 2m5f. Overall record is highly impressive and he rates among the leading hopes again. FORTUNE TIMMY (15) was outclassed in G1 company at Cheltenham but this drop in grade is significant and he cannot be dismissed outright. ABSOLUTELY DOYEN (9) won at Musselburgh two starts ago before a fair Cheltenham eighth contesting 3m. Capable of being thereabouts.
