Race Tip

Respect making handicap debut. BREAK THE BANK (6) arrives in strong form following a pair of placings producing a 1m2f runner-up effort at Ayr prior to a 0. 5L second among this company at Hamilton over 1m last week. Main danger. NOLTON CROSS (1) finished 1. 25L second tackling a higher level course and distance handicap. In the mix again. SECRET BEACH (5) produced a good fourth attempting a 1m4f York handicap two weeks back. Might feature.
