Race Tip

TOMMY'S OSCAR (1) come into this contest on the back of a runner-up finish in the Scottish Champion Chase at Musselburgh. Holds winning form at this course. Can go one better. HILLCREST (5) makes some attraction towards the bottom of the weights. Placed second last time out in a Uttoxeter novice handicap chase for 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) is not discounted having won at this venue before but needs to come on from a last-start fifth at Kelso.
