Race Tip

WINNING PADDY (4) managed to turn around a poor streak of form to win decisively over course and distance last week under James Davies. Will need to improve further to back up that performance here. Not taken lightly. GROOM DE COTTE (1) was well held on his last two starts. Now given a more realistic opportunity to find some form. Market confidence would be important. JACK'S JURY (2) made a bad mistake and unshipped Brendan Powell at Ffos Las last time. Will need to get into a rhythm if being competitive here. BITS BALLOU (6) looks a work in progress for her connections and this is unlikely to be her day.
