Race Tip
CHANTILLY (3) provided a winning return to racing when a comfortable winner of a 1m2f heavy ground handicap at Leopardstown (Ireland) before a solid third among similar company over 1m2f at Newbury. Leading chance. GOING THE DISTANCE (4) scored by 1.75L tackling a lower level 1m3f handicap at Kempton AW in April. Makes for appeal maintaining a promising profile. FRENCH DUKE (12) improved after a break when a close second in a 1m2f maiden at Newbury. Open to further progress on handicap debut representing notable connections. Royal runner GILDED WATER (6) found success in nice fashion at Chepstow finishing 7.5L clear in a 1m2f maiden. Holds claims.
