Race Tip

HARTINGTON (6) was not sighted at Windsor last time out. Clearly failed to give his running there and the ground would have likely been on the sharp side. Form of his prior Haydock second has worked out well with the fourth scoring since and this step back up in trip on softer ground will suit. Consider. HENRI THE SECOND (4) will also relish these testing conditions and looks set for a massive performance now going back up in distance after being denied a nose here recently. Olly Murphy trains ROARING CONQUEST (5) who remains lightly raced and could be right in the mix off the same rating as when a good third tackling further at Carlisle. PARTY VIBES (9) cannot be ruled out.
