Race Tip

MY NOBLE LORD (8) has adapted well to chasing and got off the mark on latest start at Uttoxeter in first time cheekpieces. Could have more to offer off this handicap mark and is a chance of following up here. PEAKY BOY (2) stood very little racing and is evidently fragile though does maintain a great strike rate. Can atone for his sole disappointing effort attempting a Grade 2 last February. PRIMOZ (7) performed below par in recent starts. Moves up to an unproven distance now. Does have talent however and no surprise were he to improve again soon. JOSH THE BOSS (5) has done little wrong since going chasing this season.
