Race Tip

MATTERHORN (1) concluded previous campaign with a strong 2. 25L second attempting the 2m1f Sussex Champion Chase (in the handicap grade) at Plumpton before a 5L success among this company at Uttoxeter over 2m4f during May. Respect after a break. ISSAM (4) made a winning return last month scoring by 1. 25L contesting a lower level 2m3f handicap chase at Wetherby. Big claims. THE FAMOUS FIVE (9) did well during February when a neck second in a 2m handicap chase at Newbury. Interesting on comeback outing. GENERAL MEDRANO (5) produced a good fourth tackling a 2m1f premier handicap chase here two starts back. Not dismissed.
