Race Tip

Irish runner CORBETTS CROSS (1) makes for plenty of appeal having produced a strong 6L second attempting a 3m G1 Novice Chase at Leopardstown two runs ago. Top amateur jockey booked and rates highly. EMBASSY GARDENS (2) won by 10L a G3 Novice Chase at Naas tackling 3m1f. Likely to enjoy this stamina test. SALVADOR ZIGGY (6) was second in the Pertemps Final handicap hurdle at this Festival last year. Showed ability with fences and holds claims. KILBEG KING (4) produced a smart head second tackling the 3m G2 Reynoldstown Novices Chase at Ascot. Might feature.
