Race Tip

LOSSIEMOUTH (6) looks one of the strongest Irish runners of the week at Cheltenham. This grey mare was a good winner twelve months back attempting the G1 Triumph Hurdle at the Festival before winning at the top level again at Punchestown. Made a successful return here in January scoring by 9.5L the G2 International Hurdle over 2m1f. Hard to beat. G1 winner ASHROE DIAMOND (1) found success attempting the 2m1f G2 Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle at Doncaster. Highly talented and may go close. ECHOES IN RAIN (2) was a good fourth in this race last year. Often does well. Shortlist. Runner-up in this contest last year LOVE ENVOI (7) finished second to the main selection here in January. Not to be discounted.
