Race Tip

APPRECIATE IT (1) managed to keep on landing this race last year gaining a comfortable 6L success. Arrives in strong form following a solid second attempting a G2 at Sandown with another second in a Listed contest at this venue. Six from twelve under Paul Townend. Top selection. GENTLEMAN DE MEE (3) is a dual G1 winner who is closely matched with the selection providing best form. Nicely treated on figures. Danger. JAMES DU BERLAIS (4) might be ready to strike after campaign runs at Punchestown and Ascot. Market to prove instructive. MONBEG PARK (5) appears held at the weights however could sneak into the placings.
