Race Tip

At the ripe old age of thirteen SAM BROWN (1) has still shown enough enthusiasm to suggest he could win one of these. He finished third in the G2 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby (3m). Can defy top-weight with Chad Bament taking off a valuable 11lb. ELDORADO ALLEN (2) finished a staying-on third behind COPPERHEAD (6) over 2m4 1/2f at Cheltenham last month. The former holds major claims with the step back up in trip a positive. The latter cannot be ignored in his current form. ASK ME EARLY (7) may go well if building on his fair reappearance fifth contesting a handicap chase at Bangor during November.
