Race Tip

ANGELS DAWN (24) won the Kim Muir here two years ago and was going well in the same event last season when falling at the second last. Two from two in the point-to-point sphere since and is considered revisiting this venue. ITS ON THE LINE (10) was only defeated once under rules last season when narrowly denied in this event twelve months back. Respect with Derek O'Connor booked. The unexposed eight-year-old RYEHILL (17) has done well over the winter and looks hard to ignore after beating Ontheropes and Its On The Line at Naas last time. MUSIC DRIVE (13) and WILLITGOAHEAD (22) both make for each-way appeal.
