Race Tip
ZIGGY (7) made an encouraging return from sixteen months off finishing behind a stablemate over 1m2f here with that form taking a boost when the winner followed up in a competitive handicap at York recently. Looks to hold leading claims now back up to 1m4f for the second time (won his only start). The rapidly improving KOTARI (13) needs to be taken seriously after completing a hat-trick when tackling 1m4f at Ascot last time. RELENTLESS VOYAGER (2) ran third at Newmarket (1m4f) four weeks ago making reappearance. Must enter calculations now racing off 2lb lower. Others to note include IF NOT NOW (3) and FLASH BARDOT (8).
