Race Tip
IL EST FRANCAIS (3) landed a Listed chase in France last month to make it two from two over fences. A winner of a G1 hurdle last season he has since looked a natural chaser and gets the vote to complete the hat-trick. HERMES ALLEN (2) reappeared to justify favouritism and open his chasing account by 7L in a G2 at Newbury earlier this month. Player upped in trip. GIOVINCO (1) has shown stacks of promise over hurdles and landed his first success over the larger obstacles two runs back at Aintree. Chance. MARBLE SANDS (5) looks up against it in this company but could outrun his odds with a bold showing.
