Race Tip

A small but competitive field. STAR ZIA (4) impressed with a 1L success attempting a Wolverhampton maiden. Progressing with every race and finds another suitable opportunity. The one to beat. MR COOL (5) was denied by 0.5L on recent reappearance. Can only improve upon that effort and rates highly. Key player. NIGHTBIRD (2) let down favourite backers on final start last campaign. Clearly felt capable of better. Resumes in receipt of a handy apprentice weight allowance. Shortlist. ALASHOS (7) holds each way claims following a 3L second at Chelmsford.
