Race Tip

JOYEUSE (17) could add to the excellent record of his trainer. Form of her runner-up effort behind an Irish raider at Cheltenham looks rock solid with the third placed horse winning among G2 company since and she could be well-treated off her current mark. Impressive last-time-out Windsor winner SECRET SQUIRREL (12) makes major appeal under the 5lb penalty. The fourth home that day NAVAJO INDY (16) arrives in top form and could be right in the mix now back at Newbury adopting first-time cheekpieces. Each-way claims go the way of FAVOUR AND FORTUNE (3).
