Race Tip

LET IT RAIN (4) returns from a layoff of thirteen months. Warrants plenty of thought despite the absence and is sure to be ready from this starting point. THE HARDEST GEEZER (3) has returned in sound form this season including at Newton Abbot and when runner up at Windsor. Certainly worth including. TASHAN (11) is progressing as a four year old. Scored last start by a nose attempting a hurdle at Exeter. Respect. NON STOP (8) is another success story for the stable this campaign. Improved putting his head in front at Wincanton two weeks ago and still fairly treated looks set to handle this standard.
