Race Tip

Karl Burke has an excellent record with newcomers and his well-bred Frankel colt ASIA FORCE (1) might take some stopping here. He's out of the Listed-winning mare Scentasia and can make a winning start at the chief expense of NEW BAY STAR (4). The latter looks the obvious threat having run well on all four starts to date and there's no doubt that he stayed this 1m2f trip well when runner-up at Chelmsford last time. Rates highly with first-time cheekpieces applied to eke out more. LEVEL LOOK (3) wasn't disgraced when fourth at Lingfield AW eighteen days ago and should be suited by the step up in trip. CHOIR BOY (2) rounds out the quartet.
