Race Tip

ETALON (2) landed a Class Three handicap chase at this venue last season and is back on a workable mark. Shaped better than the bare result when fifth of six in a warm event at Cheltenham three weeks ago. Likely to appreciate the return to this track in calmer waters. ROCCOVANGO (5) continues to improve and a further 2lb rise in the weights for scoring at Uttoxeter during November should not be enough to prevent a bold bid. HUNTER LEGEND (8) won with bundles in hand over fences at Leicester a week ago. Cannot be ignored upped in grade for an in-form yard. TRIPLE TRADE (4) is dangerous to discount.
