Race Tip

SEPT ETOILES (5) managed to build on a respectable fourth making racecourse debut at Down Royal getting off the mark with a comfortable 1. 25L maiden hurdle success at the same venue. Further progress expected. Major player. ESPRESSO MILAN (3) provided a winning debut for Willie Mullins when landing a Punchestown maiden hurdle returning under Paul Townend. Steps up in trip. Key player. DAYDREAM NATION (2) dominated the field securing a 16L victory at Gowran Park prior to a decent third at Newbury. Shortlist. AMERICAN JUKEBOX (1) virtually made all to gain a commanding 19L Tramore maiden hurdle triumph earlier this month. Feared.
