Race Tip

IL ETAIT TEMPS (3) broke through for a well-deserved success in the G1 Manifesto Novices Chase at Aintree. Finished third in the Arkle Trophy behind GAELIC WARRIOR (1) and is favored to reverse form. The latter mentioned has a tendency to jump awkwardly and might not benefit from a small field and slowly run race despite G1 form. HERCULE DU SEUIL (2) returned after a seven month absence with a fourth behind the main selection at Aintree. Entitled to come forward for the run. MOUNT FRISCO (4) holds each way claims if any of the leading selections make jumping errors.
