Race Tip

FRENCH DIABLO (4) improved sharply after switching to handicaps following a course-and-distance third with a decisive 5. 5L success here on latest appearance. Sets the standard. BRIONYWELLS (2) won successive handicaps at Worcester and Uttoxeter before finishing 8. 75L fourth at Market Rasen. Remains capable after a break. Main danger. BELLS OF UFFORD (1) was 5L second at Uttoxeter before a lesser Worcester fifth and dropping in the weights makes some appeal. DELGANY SECOND NOW (5) showed modest progress when fifth in a Worcester maiden last time and now provides his handicap debut. The longer trip might help. Not discounted.
