Race Tip

GAELIC ROVER (3) placed both rules outings so far including when third on debut at Ayr before improving to finish runner-up over course and distance. Down in grade for this assignment and may go one better. SO PROUD (6) managed to get off the mark at the first time of asking scoring narrowly by a neck a jumpers flat race at Haydock Park last May. Form has worked out with the fifth-placed horse winning when resuming when hurdling. WHO'S GLEN (9) was third making hurdle debut at Musselburgh after a disappointing flat campaign. Likely thereabouts. Set Weights INGFORTHEFENCE (7) ran third providing first appearance in a Sedgefield jumpers flat race. Potential.
