Race Tip

MY MATE AJ (5) went off at short odds on both starts earlier in the winter. Showed ability despite some waywardness beaten 2. 25L at Lingfield (AW) on the latter occasion. Expect he may have come on well in the meantime. OYKEL BRIDGE (6) has also had the benefit of a couple of runs. Third on both attempts last time beaten 8L at Haydock. Should get closer. BOUND FOR GLORY (11) finished a fair fourth on racecourse debut at Catterick in January. Stable can get bumper winners. On the shortlist. HERCULES HONOUR (2) makes most appeal of the trio of newcomers. First progeny of the Listed-winning National Hunt mare Atlanta Ablaze.
