Race Tip

CHAMPONIE (6) arrives unbeaten after a pair of wins this year with a debut success in a 6f maiden at Newcastle AW preceding a 1. 5L victory over the same journey in a Wolverhampton AW novice race during March. Promising chance. OLD IS GOLD (5) recorded some smart efforts during his first season including a solid third in a 6f nursery at the Goodwood Festival last August. Open to further progress down in level. Likely player. PROOF (12) scored by 0. 5L attempting a lower level 5f handicap at Southwell AW a month ago. Makes appeal. Last month winner ALVIN (4) won by 1. 75L contesting a lower grade handicap at Bath over the trip recently. Not discounted.
