Race Tip

A competitive handicap chase. The progressive IMPERIAL SAINT (5) is three from four over fences after a comfortable handicap chase success at Aintree on Boxing Day. Could prove equal to the task. Runner-up in the G1 Mildmay Novices Chase last year IROKO (2) was virtually knocked over when falling at the first at Ascot. Respect making handicap debut. GINNY'S DESTINY (1) is unbeaten both starts tackling track and trip. In the mix after finishing third attempting the G2 Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon. Runaway G2 Desert Orchid Handicap Chase winner SOUL ICON (4) cannot be ruled out.
