Race Tip

MAJBOROUGH (3) is a multiple G1 winner. Found success in the G1 Arkle Novice Chase (2m1f) at Leopardstown start of February and Mark Walsh retains the ride. Consider. L'EAU DU SUD (2) maintains outstanding form of late. Closed last prep with a win in the G1 Henry VIII Novices Chase (1m7 1/2f) at Sandown Park then picked up where he left securing another victory by 1L in the G2 Kingmaker Novices Chase (2m) at Warwick. Hard to dismiss. JANGO BAIE (1) won two starts back tackling a chase (2m4 3/4f) at this track. Subsequently missed by a nose in the G1 Scilly Isles Novices Chase (2m4f) at Sandown Park. May go one better. ONLY BY NIGHT (5) impressed finding success at Exeter last month and rates a genuine threat in this grade.
