Race Tip

Irish runner CHIEF LITTLE ROCK (4) represents top connections. Showed plenty of ability at Newmarket last October when 3.75L second in the 1m G3 Autumn Stakes where the winner has won a G1 since boosting form. The one to beat. DEFIANCE (5) was a narrow debut winner over 1m at Sandown before a sixth tackling the 1m G2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket last September. May go well. FEIGNING MADNESS (6) arrives unbeaten following a nose success in a 1m novice event at Newmarket during October. Holds claims. ARABIC LEGEND (1) was favourite in the aforementioned G3 Autumn Stakes when sixth behind the main selection. May improve further up in trip. BELLUM JUSTUM (2) warrants a second look.
