Race Tip

Tony Martin trains Irish raider ZANNDABAD (4) who powered away for a dominant 13L success in a 2m4f Sedgefield hurdle last time. Replicating that confidence-boosting display would make him very hard to beat. OUT OF THE WOODS (2) returned from 251 days off gaining an authoritative 6L maiden hurdle win at Hexham. Open to further progress and rates a key player. Warrants serious consideration. JUST GOLDEN (5) provided an excellent return when runner-up contesting 2m4f at Uttoxeter under Harry Skelton and is entitled to improve. GET ON GEORGE (1) bounced back to form securing a solid Wetherby success. Might remain competitive.
