Race Tip

Small turn out for this contest with ground described as Good to Firm. HOPE RISING (1) bids for a hat-trick since winning comfortably at Lingfield Park on the turf and then stepping up to 2m at Nottingham last week succeeding by 19L. Should prove far too good and looks impossible to oppose under these circumstances. SNEAKY BLINDER (2) is well exposed and doesn't boast the best strike rate on turf providing sixteen starts. Needs to be better than we have seen in recent times and looks up against it though this local trainer can have winners here and the booking of Billy Loughnane is a positive one.
