Race Tip

MARNIER (7) looks open to further improvement this prep after finally getting off the mark end of last season at Lingfield Park. No surprise to see him going very close back on grass. DOUBLE MEANING (8) is yet to win on turf. Did record two all-weather wins last season while ran well here in October. Worth taking seriously. PRIDE OF DONEGAL (2) was well exposed but not so much on the turf. Finished third on grass debut at Thirsk in April and won't be too far away. MASTER VINTNER (1) brings more upside than most. Unlikely we've seen the best of him and might be ready to kick on further this year.
