Race Tip

This looks tricky but ILE ATLANTIQUE (2) holds winning course form and relishes testing conditions. The Willie Mullins trained eight-year-old was a good second in the G3 O'Driscoll's Irish Whiskey New Years Day Chase at Tramore last month and could take a step forward. KIM ROQUE (18) finished a solid fourth in a decent handicap chase at Cheltenham tackling this trip last time. Can handle conditions as a heavy-ground winner in France. BACKMERSACKME (20) was disappointing last start however remains dangerous to discount racing for shrewd connections with Sean Bowen an eye-catching booking. BUACHAILLBOCHT (22) also warrants consideration.
