Race Tip

A classy yet small field for the feature race of the day. L'HOMME PRESSE (2) is a multiple Grade 1 winner. Managed to win last time making a successful return at Lingfield in the 2m6f Fleur de Lys Chase and this nine-year-old previously won at the course so could prove hard to beat. PIC D'ORHY (3) was runner-up in this event last year. Produced an impressive 16L course and distance victory two outings ago in the G2 1965 Chase. Include. Fellow G1 victor AHOY SENOR (1) is a top-class performer. Ran fourth tackling the G2 Cotswold Chase over 3m1f at Cheltenham three weeks ago. Makes for appeal. SAIL AWAY (4) is likely to finish fourth.
