Race Tip

BLACK ORCHID (5) represents notable connections. Aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win after placing second over course and distance on debut then again at Wetherby last time. May go one better. INDEFENSIBLE (1) is beginning to race well with three placings past five outings including when third contesting a handicap at Catterick ten days ago. Expected to challenge. VALOR SPIRIT (4) lost out by 0. 75L running second on seasonal reappearance. Failed to follow up managing sixth in a maiden handicap at Redcar last month. Might bounce back. STONEACRE JOE (3) needs to improve from a latest fifth at Ayr.
