Race Tip

FOUNTAIN HOUSE (1) bids for a five-timer after an easy 39L success in a 3m cross-country chase at this venue on Tuesday. Ticks all the right boxes to follow up having a good record at this track and journey. Top selection. LISNAMULT LAD (5) is expected to improve following a ninth tackling the 2m5f Topham Premier Handicap Chase on the national course at Aintree (UK) three weeks ago. Worth including if showing best form. OLYMPIC MAN (6) ran well on stable debut six weeks ago when a good fifth at the Cheltenham Festival in the 3m2 1/2f Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Chase. Makes appeal. VITAL ISLAND (9) is a three-time course winner including this race last year. Worth a second look.
