Race Tip

BABYKEN (10) didn't quite get home in latest over course and distance on heavy ground. Previously second also at this track tackling good ground. Can atone for those defeats. WAY OF STARS (11) finished narrowly ahead of the main selection that day beaten only a neck on second hurdle attempt. Winner on the flat. Clear danger here. GNOMON (4) possesses a similar profile being a dual flat winner with two placings over obstacles. Beaten when odds-on attempting first occasion. Will be close up. GREAT DANCE (9) is on hurdling debut having won a small race at Newton Abbot and subsequently ran down field among Listed company. Place chance.
