Race Tip
The feature race on the card does not disappoint. IN EXCELSIS DEO (5) placed third here last October over 2m. Produced a strong 4.5L fifth tackling the 2m5f Plate premier handicap chase at the Festival last month and finding an ideal opportunity rates highly. Course regular IL RIDOTO (3) was eighth that day. Placed at this venue three times this season and holds every chance. SAIL AWAY (4) recorded a solid fourth tackling the 3m Great Yorkshire premier handicap chase at Doncaster two runs ago. In the mix now dropping back down in level. SCARFACE (7) bids for a hat-trick following wins at Sandown and Plumpton. Could go well again.
