Race Tip

CAPTAIN TEAGUE (3) won the G1 Challow Novices Hurdle here last year. Officially made a winning chase debut in a walkover three weeks ago at Exeter and representing top connections rates a likely player. THE JUKEBOX MAN (6) was a solid third in the aforementioned course G1 Challow Novices Hurdle before a pair of runner-up efforts at Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals both among G1 company. Main danger. JOHNNYWHO (4) indicated plenty of promise when resuming over fences scoring by 1.5L a month ago tackling 2m4f at Carlisle. Holds claims. MASACCIO (5) won by 2L a 2m4f handicap chase here. Next best.
