Race Tip

CALVINO (4) will be aiming to get his career back on track having been pulled up at Plumpton six weeks ago. Warrants thought racing for trainer Paul Nicholls if finding the necessary improvement to go and win which he looks capable of. BRIGHT LEGEND (3) provided an encouraging stable debut for Faye Bramley at Fontwell Park during October. Absence a concern however does set a high bar. KAPITEIN KOOL (1) was a shock winner at Newton Abbot in the autumn. Backed up that effort with a sound second at Exeter last time and is worth giving another chance. SIOUX FALLS (7) is a former point to point winner who could have a future. In the mix.
