Race Tip

HOT AND HIGH (7) returns from a five-and-a-half months break after scoring three wins on end, the latest over 7f win in the LR Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic at this track. Comfortable winner last time and expected to be in the finish again. NICCIANA (8) is back from a six months lay-off and he does run well when resuming, including a win over 5½f at Northam at the start of last prep. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Lark Hill trial. Likely to take beating. HORCRUX (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 1. 5 lengths, over 6f at this track. Capable of playing a big role. AWESOME BOY (5) continued the good recent form when he finished just 2. 5 lengths away in second last time out over 6f at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Cannot be underestimated.
