Race Tip

KADASTRAL (2) was an impressive winner of a valuable flat event last season. Taken to hurdling. Disappointed last time out when supported however this contest will have been the plan for some time and looks the one to beat. MINELLA YOGA (5) continues to progress for Paul Nicholls and has been kept from the spring festivals for this target. Major player. KOCKTAIL BLEU (4) secured his second hurdle triumph in determined fashion at Newbury five weeks ago. Should have plenty more to give and rates highly. WILSTAR (3) bids for a hat-trick after back to back wins among lesser company. Faces his sternest test yet. Not ruled out.
