Race Tip

This renewal of the National Spirit could go the way of POTTERS CHARM (1) who is improving and will have one eye on the Aintree festival during spring. Proved a good winner of a valuable hurdle at Windsor last month and despite giving weight away all round could take plenty of beating. NURSE SUSAN (5) rates the main danger in receipt of weight bidding for a hat-trick after a listed win at Sandown. BOTOX HAS (2) seems to have lost of his way of late and needs to get back on track. Can stay however needs a revival. PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS (4) remains unexposed. Likely to find this step up in grade too much though might be one to watch.
