Race Tip

CALVINO (2) has taken some time to mature however got off the mark hurdling and is now two from two here at Taunton securing a victory at this track seven weeks ago. Penalised this time but looks to be improving quickly and will be hard to beat. FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN (1) was pulled up at Doncaster five weeks ago. Progressive before that. Though conceding weight all round is hard to fault. Warrants close consideration. SAILING BY (6) offered something to work with delivering latest start at Exeter and will be one to watch. KHAFRE (5) is another who looked to improve recently. Likely one for the future.
