Race Tip
NAB WOOD (8) bids for a hat-trick on the back of a 12L success in a 2m7f Kelso novices hurdle that was followed by a 3.25L victory over the same course and distance in a handicap hurdle. Top selection. JOKER DE MAI (3) has been going well with a Lingfield 2m3f handicap hurdle victory by 11L preceding seconds at Exeter and Kempton. Respect. RICH SPIRIT (4) showed plenty of ability two starts ago at Doncaster when 1.75L runner-up tackling a higher graded 2m3f handicap hurdle. Fell at the first taking on G2 company at Kelso since but rates highly in this easier grade. RAFFERTY'S RETURN (5) is worth a second look.
