Race Tip

PRIDE OF NEPAL (5) arrives in fine form having won his last four starts including a 1L win at Ripon last month. Hard to oppose. DAMASCUS STEEL (4) has been a fine servant for all his connections through the years. Proved a good winner in first time cheekpieces last time at Goodwood when scoring by 0. 5L and will likely give this a bold sight. Respect. SHAHBAZ (7) scored twice on the turf previously and comes from a fine stable who are quiet at the moment which perhaps raises doubts. JODHPUR BLUE (8) hasn't won since his juvenile days but holds every chance if putting his best foot forward from a low weight.
