Race Tip
JUST GOLDEN (2) debuted with a 0.8L second in a 2m1/4f jumpers flat race at Hereford in December. Taken to go one better. DOUGLAS HYDE (1) is expected to do well following a 4.5L second attempting 2m at Ffos Las six weeks back. PERTEMPS (4) registered a 1.5L third contesting a 2m3/4f jumpers flat race at Market Rasen on debut. Shortlist. The winner of a point-to-point over 3m1/4f in November SAGE GREEN (5) gets a chance debuting for a new trainer.
