Race Tip

SIR WILLIAM (3) opened his account attempting a 1m2f Windsor handicap last month. Beaten in a photo-finish at Newbury subsequently and appears to still be improving. Good claims despite additional 3lb rise. DANCING TIGER (9) appreciated the testing underfoot conditions winning by 2L at Goodwood (1m2f) last start. Likely to face something similar here. Could defy a 4lb higher mark. ADVANCING (2) made a winning debut at Kempton (1m) during May. Finished third from this mark or similar in two handicap starts and is worth considering. ATHERSTONE WARRIOR (5) maintains untapped potential over this distance.
