Race Tip

The progressive BOLLIN THOU (6) has gone from strength-to-strength in recent starts and can continue his upward trajectory. This versatile Nick Scholfield trained eight-year-old proved the drop back to this trip was no issue winning at Lingfield last time out. Could take some stopping on his favoured testing ground with Harry Cobden booked. TENNESSEE TANGO (2) might prove the biggest danger now stepping into handicap company on the back of a good third behind a very useful rival at Chepstow. Ffos Las maiden hurdle winner CALME OLYMPIEN (3) handled these conditions in France and may get involved making handicap debut. PRECIOUS METAL (1) might go well.
