Race Tip

ANOTHER FINE MESS (6) continues to progress. Arrives bidding for a hat-trick after a triumph at Doncaster two weeks ago. Still looks capable of winning again and rates highly. STAR OF AFFINITY (2) showed a good aptitude for fences including a solid performance at Plumpton twelve days ago. Hard to dismiss. JACK TO BAT (5) offered significant promise on three starts last season and holds plenty of scope for improvement now switching to fences. Market check advised returning to action. MELTON MOSSY (9) can be quirky. Didn't look happy when last seen two months ago. Big run wouldn't surprise so consider.
