Race Tip

CATCHINTSAVO (1) placed in a jumpers flat race at the Punchestown Festival (Ireland) last year. Maintains a promising hurdle record with a neck success in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Ludlow preceding a fair 10L third over 2m3f in a novices hurdle at Ascot last month. Top chance. PIPING ROCK (4) holds big claims following three placings from as many starts under rules including a 2. 25L third in a 2m3f heavy ground maiden hurdle at Warwick a month ago. Main danger. Course winner FIVE BAR GATE (2) showed improvement when 1. 25L second contesting a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Taunton. Makes plenty of appeal. UNKNOWN STRANGER (6) rates next best.
