Race Tip

LOADED AND LOCKED (7) showed clear improvement last time when staying on to finish third in a maiden hurdle tackling 2m3 3/4f at this track. Hard to stop if in similar form. LOOPING D'ARC (1) managed to take a step forward scoring with ease by 4. 5L a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell. Expected to go close again. DONEGAL (14) produced a strong performance on his jumps debut last time when finishing second in a hurdle over 2m3/4f at Doncaster. Plenty of upside holding sound prospects again here. RACE TO BASE (2) followed up good recent form with a solid third contesting a 2m1f event at Aintree. Presence might be felt once more.
