Race Tip

NOW IS THE HOUR (5) was unplaced two starts back in a chase (3m) at Punchestown. Improved in latest running 4L fourth chasing (3m) at Navan. Can reverse recent attempts and is considered. HAITI COULEURS (6) brings useful jumps form running third last start in a hurdle (3m) at Newbury. Scored a chase (3m1 1/4f) at this track the outing prior and likely to be prominent. TRANSMISSION (9) could only manage sixth contesting the G2 Cleeve Hurdle (3mf) at this track. Produced a solid second in a chase (3m1 1/4f) here delivering penultimate start and deserves another chance. CAPTAIN CODY (4) missed the placings in a tackling a Leopardstown chase (2m5 1/2f). Made amends in latest when 2.75L third at Navan. Thereabouts.
