Race Tip
ROMEO COOLIO (5) represents the Gordon Elliott yard who has not been in the best form of late. Holds outstanding claims looking good winning the G1 Future Champions at Leopardstown in December. Sets the standard following his third place in the G1 Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. TRIPOLI FLYER (9) won a G2 jumpers flat at this meeting last year. Respect following his smooth success in the G2 Dovecote at Kempton last month. SALVATOR MUNDI (8) might have more to offer. Looks interesting with the hood removed after his fifth-placed finish behind the main selection at Cheltenham in latest. Ben Pauling trains talented mare DIVA LUNA (10). Likely thereabouts following her solid third in the G2 Mares Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham.
