Race Tip
Remaining unbeaten GALE MAHLER (6) looked potentially top-class succeeding in the Listed COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle at Galway during July. The Adrian Keatley trained mare can now stretch her winning sequence to seven. Paul Nicholls trains BRAVE KNIGHT (4) who could prove the chief danger now stepping up in grade after novice hurdle wins at Stratford and Newton Abbot. Dan Skelton is the trainer of undefeated hurdler VALGRAND (3). Might provide a bold sight following his victory attempting a Class Four novices hurdle at Bangor in May. Irish raider IMAGINARIUM (1) completes the shortlist.
