Race Tip

HIGH AURA (5) appeared in need of the experience on debut at Stratford three weeks ago. Should now be able to take a big step forward in what looks a winnable juvenile hurdle for the champion trainer. MY CHAMPION (1) was only modest on the flat. Stamina will be a major question mark for this son of Ardad and market to prove the best guide. US OFFICER (3) is without success on the flat. Never sighted tackling 1m2f at Bath last month while this looks a tough starting point hurdling. TIMELY SALUTE (2) now wears a first time hood having finished fourth providing final outing for previous connections. Interesting.
