Race Tip

TOBY TOPS (6) produced three wins in four starts. Returned to winning ways over this distance at Ascot 13 days ago and can double up again. Leading contender. DIAMAND DE VINDECY (4) impressed securing a 9.5L win in a 2m2f Pontefract handicap on seasonal reappearance before placing 1L third tackling this trip at Ripon next time. Holds winning form at this track. Dangerous. THE CRAFTY MOLE (3) finished ninth in a 1m4f contest at Thirsk commencing for the season. Yet to score attempting this journey. Interesting. FLEUR DE MER (1) provides first start this year. Worth watching.
