Race Tip

The three day November meeting begins with an open looking handicap hurdle. A PAI DE NOM (14) maintains a promising profile racing for a top yard with a 2m6f maiden hurdle success at Newton Abbot preceding a 1. 75L second tackling the same track and trip (novices hurdle) two weeks back. Leading player. Irish contender AVALO (9) brings consistent placed form with five top-three results including a 0. 75L runner-up effort in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Punchestown a month ago. Rates highly. EL CAPITAINE (10) returned to rules with a nose victory in a lower level 2m6f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot last month. Holds claims. KAP VERT (6) finished 1. 25L second contesting a 2m3f Fontwell handicap hurdle. Might feature.
