Race Tip

GRAND VENDETTA (6) caught the eye on debut for Paul Nicholls at Chepstow two months ago giving the impression that he's a good level of ability. Entitled to come on for that run and should take all the beating. WANDERING EGO (1) must be respected under a penalty and has plenty of experience. JOYAU ALLEN (8) is a full-brother to the outstanding Envoi Allen but has struggled since returning to action this season. No surprise to see him get involved. CREST OF VALOUR (3) and BRISKY DANCER (2) both look like long term projects for their upwardly mobile stables and are best watched with a view to the future.
