Race Tip

It is hard to ignore the appeal of GABORIOT (1) who reverts to hunters' chases after a good lay-off in handicaps which included finishing runner-up in Aintree's Grand Sefton Chase on penultimate start. Key player here. ZHIGULI (7) may prove the biggest danger having placed third of 14 on recent seasonal return in a point-to-point. Represents handy local connections. Worth consideration. BRANDY MCQUEEN (6) arrives off the back of a 4 length victory between the flags last month. Could challenge back under rules. LUNAR CONTACT (5) gets on well with this rider and could be playing for the minor placings.
