Race Tip

Competitive handicap chase. CALL ME ARTHUR (4) was a good winner at Huntingdon three weeks ago. That rates as some of the best racing in this event and could prove hard to stop. BATAILLON (3) turned his form around to score over course and distance four weeks ago winning by 1. 75L. Looks the type who may improve further and is one to consider. HELL HOUND (1) has always threatened to be better than this grade. Off the track for 467 days and fitness is being taken on trust. Market to prove the best guide. JONGLEUR D'ETOILES (2) can be inconsistent. Did well when runner up six weeks ago. Rates highly.
