Race Tip

IMPERIAL CULT (3) received plenty of market support last time out when finishing fourth pursuing a hat-trick. Stable are in need of a winner and he looks to be a good chance of returning to winning ways. SYMPHONY'S SONG (6) remains a maiden after four attempts. Didn't immediately improve on the first start in a handicap at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago so needs to find more however this new trip might help. KING'S CASTLE (4) finished well held in fourth at Salisbury last month and looks booked for a place at best. HARLINGTON (2) struggled at Newbury. Should find this more realistic and could be in the mix.
