Race Tip
FLY TO GLORY (1) bids for a hat-trick after wins attempting 6f and over course and distance. Receives a penalty because of that victory three days ago. Definite hope. I'M SPARTACUS (3) placed 0.75L third tackling 5f at this venue last time. Steps up in trip and will be managing a wide draw. Possibilities. SARMIENTO POWER (2) drops markedly in journey after placing 0.75L second at Southwell. Debuts for new trainer. Interesting. FREE SOLO (8) rates a place chance having finished 3.5L second here previously.

Stepping up in trip after finishing fifth over 6f at this track last time out. In the right race this time and shouldn’t be far away.

Encouraging when resuming run when runner-up at this track over 1m on January 10. Further improvement in store.

Has been out of the money in recent runs including last time out when fourth over 7f at this track a month ago, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth following up.

Now 378 days without a win, the latest effort a seventh over 7f at Wolverhampton, beaten 8 lengths. Won't find this easy.

- Robert Colgan
- Matthew J Smith
Imported four-year-old having first run in this area for the Matthew J Smith stable. Last appeared when second over 1m3f at Southwell All Weather 12 weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for return. Can make an immediate impact.

- Jamie Powell
- Adrian Mcguinness
Often in the money but finds it hard to win. Added to a frustrating run of minor placings last start when beaten 0.8 lengths into third over 0.8 lengthsm at at this track. Best form measures up and he looks a huge chance.

- Killian Leonard
- Noel C Kelly
Just one career win from 19 starts. Last start finished 1.75 lengths away in third over 1m4f at this track. Rates highly on best form and is among the chances.

Finding it hard to break through, finishing sixth last time out over 1m at this track. Finds a nice race and can improve without surprising.

- Robert Whearty
- Noel Meade
Has a poor strike rate and hasn't won a race in more than a year. Must improve off a last-start 11th over 7f at this track to feature in the finish.

- Donagh O'connor

Never looked like threatening over 7f at this track at the latest run, beaten 14 lengths into tenth. Doesn't make any appeal.
