Race Tip

The lightly raced HOPEWELL ROCK (8) has been running well in defeat and deserves a return to winning ways. This looks competitive however lost nothing when beaten a nose tackling this trip at Leicester last time. Handles these soft conditions. LORD MELBOURNE (3) returned from eleven months off securing a commanding victory at Epsom recently. Would hold major claims if backing that up. CASTLE COVE (15) may get involved for the William Haggas team having shaped nicely running fourth over 1m5 1/2f at Newbury last time. ATHERSTONE WARRIOR (18) steps up to 1m4f for the first time and cannot be left out of calculations following wins at Sandown and Newbury.
