Race Tip

GOOD BOY GRIFF (3) took a major step forward when only a narrow second beaten a short head at Bangor-on-Dee a fortnight ago. Should be capable of repeating that effort under Sean Bowen. COOLKATIE (1) finished third beaten just 3L at Fakenham four weeks ago and could easily go a couple of places better on this more conventional track. WALKINTHEPRESENT (6) scored decisively at Taunton back in March but not in the same form recently at Wincanton. Unlikely to be too far away and market confidence is important. HILLWALK (5) was comfortably accounted for by an impressive winner at Chepstow three weeks ago and needs more.
