Race Tip

KEL HISTOIRE (8) placed among G2 company as a novice last year and drops in level after a 12L fifth attempting the 2m G3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran Park last month. Represents the Mullins team and may go well. Rates highly. Stablemate ROC DINO (21) showed plenty of promise in France. Confirmed potential delivering a 3L second in a 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles six weeks back. Makes appeal. AIR OF ENTITLEMENT (3) won the 2m1f G2 Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at this Festival last year. Can show more in handicaps. Shortlist on best efforts. JUMP ALLEN (17) is a last time Punchestown winner who concluded last season with a convincing victory tackling this trip at Sandown. Warrants a second look.
