Race Tip

TOMMY'S OSCAR (1) arrives on the back of a runner-up effort in the Scottish Champion Chase at Musselburgh. Holds winning form at this course. May go one better. HILLCREST (5) makes some attraction towards bottom of the weights. Placed second last time out attempting a novice handicap chase at Uttoxeter gaining a third placed effort in four starts. Expected to challenge. CREDO (3) disappointed when eighth in the Swinley Premier Handicap Chase at Ascot. Previously won tackling track and trip. Improvement expected. EMPIRE STEEL (2) cannot be discounted having won at this venue previously. Needs to come on from a last-start fifth at Kelso.
