Race Tip

Winning this last year FUGITIF (4) could follow up in the feature race on the card. Posted a fair fifth last month over course and distance and ticks plenty of boxes with a lower mark this time around. Leading player. The consistent Cheltenham specialist IL RIDOTO (5) was a short-head second in this last year. Won the aforementioned November Gold Cup Premier Handicap Chase a month ago. Rates highly. MADARA (8) managed to win at this fixture last year. Recorded a decent fourth behind the second pick here. Can go well again. G1 Cheltenham Festival winner STAGE STAR (1) is expected to improve second up. Claims.
