Race Tip

OOLONG POOBONG (5) was racing consistently with two wins and two placed efforts in five attempts only to miss the frame when fourth at Ascot last time. Will be thereabouts. CITY OF POETS (1) lost out by 0. 5L placing third making seasonal reappearance in a Wolverhampton handicap before finishing ninth contesting the Thirsk Hunt Cup Handicap a fortnight ago. May bounce back. NEW IMAGE (3) left behind four disappointing efforts delivering a 0. 75L third tackling a Redcar handicap. Expected to challenge. EMPIRE OF LIGHT (9) bids for a hat-trick after victories at Chester and Haydock Park. Dangerous.
