Race Tip

MAN OF LA MANCHA (3) bids for a hat-trick on season return after a 0. 5L victory in this handicap grade over 1m1f at this venue last September. Ticks plenty of boxes. Leading chance. SKIPPER (1) represents notable connections and could follow up a recent 0. 5L success in this handicap company at Redcar over the same trip. Rates highly. I STILL HAVE FAITH (9) ran well a month ago when a nose second in the 1m All-Weather Vase Mile Handicap at Lingfield AW. In the mix to go well. EARL OF ROCHESTER (7) holds a promising record after ending last season with a 1m2f maiden runner-up effort at Windsor. Interesting option.
