Race Tip

BOTH BARRELS (4) improved markedly from an eighth on seasonal reappearance at Ayr to win by 1. 5L contesting a Kelso handicap hurdle. May double up. HEATHER HONEY (9) is racing consistently with three wins and two placed efforts past six starts including placing third in a Doncaster handicap hurdle five weeks ago. Expected to challenge. DALSTON LAD (7) has improved with each start so far this season culminating in a 13L success attempting a Sedgefield novice hurdle. Will be thereabouts. SOLAR SYSTEM (8) represents notable connections and cannot be discounted providing first appearance in over 300 days.
