Race Tip

HAVAILA (7) won by 21L at Plumpton last time. Top jockey booked and can defy the 8lb penalty for a yard in top form. LEAVE OF ABSENCE (3) will find this easier than when a well-beaten runner-up in the G2 Reynoldstown Novices Chase at Ascot. Respect making fences handicap debut. IDEFIX DE CIERGUES (5) revisiting chases after being pulled up in a competitive handicap hurdle at Sandown might suit among this company. ART OF DIPLOMACY (6) is another to note.
