Race Tip
PILLAR OF HOPE (3) won authoritatively over 1 ¼m at Redcar. The Charlie Johnston-trained course and distance winner looks to hold every chance of defying a 6lbs rise. GREATGADIAN (1) is well-handicapped dropping into a Class Four contest. Races off a handy mark and brings proven winning form on this surface. DIAMONDONTHEHILL (2) could be in contention if replicating his fourth-placed finish attempting 7f at Haydock on second AW outing. PASTICHE (4) also merits consideration.
