Race Tip

CAPTAIN HUGO (2) returned in good order scoring by 1. 5L on comeback. Followed with a placing over 2m1f at Aintree and very fit now holds leading claims. THE CISTERCIAN (3) resumed with a maiden win attempting 1m7 1/2f at Leicester on first outing for the Stuart Edmunds yard. Strips fitter representing the main danger. THE EGYPTIAN GINGE (7) steps down from stronger company after a fifth tackling track and trip. Warrants serious consideration. WOLF WALKER (10) joined the Clive Boultbee Brooks yard then returned with a solid second attempting 2m1/4f at Hereford with Richard Patrick engaged. Likely to feature. Makes appeal.
