Race Tip
DOUBLE POWERFUL (7) is on a current six race unbeaten run. Landed his sixth successive win with a 0.5L victory at the November meeting at Cheltenham tackling 2m5f. Still looks well-handicapped. Leading contender. CHAMPAGNE TWIST (1) was unlucky to unseat last time out on seasonal reappearance at Cheltenham. Useful claiming jockey on board to help out with top weight. Main danger. IRISH HILL (3) represents a noted yard. Was a narrow 1L second previously at Wincanton over 2m4f. Definite top-three hope. EAST INDIA EXPRESS (5) makes his return to action after 233 days off the track. Holds major form claims from last season.
