Race Tip
CONSTITUTION HILL (2) has been going well with this eight year old not missing the frame in ten starts. Consider. BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD (6) is a strong when resuming performer returning from a three month layoff. Commenced with a win at Down Royal over 2m1f when last in work and rates a key runner. STATE MAN (4) could make his presence felt with the gelding coming back in grade. BURDETT ROAD (1) did well to finish third on penultimate attempt in the G1 Christmas Hurdle (2m) at Kempton Park. Backed that up with a sound second tackling the G2 Kingwell Hurdle (1m7 1/4f) at Wincanton missing by 0.8L. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Six-year-old mare who resumes here off a short 72 day break. Yet to taste defeat from four first time out runs. Makes strong appeal and can keep unbeaten fresh record intact.

Fresh off a small break. Previous when resuming winner and is yet to miss the top three off a break. This tough despite fresh record. Prepared to look elsewhere.
