Race Tip

HAITI COULEURS (3) steps up considerably in grade after a decisive 3L success over 3m6 1/2f at Chepstow in the Welsh National. Has a strong record with Sean Bowen engaged who retains the ride. Looks very hard to beat despite the class rise. L'HOMME PRESSE (1) has returned in good order following a Cheltenham placing with a narrow 0. 8L defeat in the G2 Cotswold Chase over 3m1 1/2f. Represents the main danger. LEAVE OF ABSENCE (4) was beaten a head at Ascot tackling 3m in December and makes genuine appeal. RISKINTHEGROUND (2) was well held at Cheltenham last time and needs a major turnaround. Impossible to discount in what could prove to be a tactical affair.
