Race Tip

ESPERTI (5) appears to still be improving rapidly. Landed successive races in April before finishing 3L from the winner over 3m5f at Fakenham four weeks ago. May still have more in hand from this rating. IMPERIAL ALEX (2) drew clear with another rival when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (3m) earlier this month. Handicapper raised him as a result but that will have buoyed confidence. BALLYNAHEER (4) enjoyed a fruitful autumn campaign. Scored again making penultimate start but must bounce back from a lesser performance at Fontwell last month. IVANE (1) returns from an absence. Went well fresh for this yard last August. Cannot be ruled out.
