Race Tip

QUEBECOIS (4) returned to form with a 2m4 1/2f chase second at Cheltenham most recently after an unplaced run in a G2 over 3m at Sandown Park. Can bounce back to winning ways. Holds leading claims. PERSONAL AMBITION (3) was fifth in the G2 Noel Novices Chase contesting 2m3f at Ascot last start. Better expected in this company. In the mix. OLD COWBOY (1) won by 4L here two runs ago then fell tackling 2m4 1/2f at Kempton Park on latest appearance. If jumping holds together can feature. Warrants serious consideration. LEADING CHOICE (2) returns from 395 days lay-off. Was attempting 2m5 1/4f at Haydock Park when 39L ninth last seen. Fresh run can spark improvement. Worth including.
