Race Tip

STORMING GEORGE (1) seeks improvement eased in standard after a seventh in the G2 Dovecote Novices Hurdle at Kempton on latest appearance. Considerably easier company awaits and he looks the runner to beat. GRAND VENDETTA (4) has returned in excellent order with a placing at Chepstow followed by a 1. 5L Taunton success. Current form demands respect. THEWOODCORNER (10) remains a danger after a Chepstow victory and a subsequent Huntingdon placing. Reliable profile makes him hard to ignore. DOCTORS HILL (7) was a solid second here two runs back before a lesser Chepstow effort. Capable of bouncing back in this line up.
