Race Tip
MR Set Weights IVELL (8) battled on strongly to prevail narrowly at Newmarket (July) before shaping as though the step up to 1m2f would suit when a close third at Haydock (1m). Trained by James Ferguson and racing off the same mark rates highly from a nice starting position in gate five. The Hugo Palmer-trained pair HAVANARAMA (9) and HE'S A GENTLEMAN (1) both warrant consideration with the former staying on strongly to finish fourth over 1m at Southwell off a 2lb higher mark in a and looks interesting now up to 1m2f while the latter also tackles 1m2f for the first time with Sean Dylan Bowen claiming a valuable 3lb. BUSHFIRE (11) cannot be dismissed.
