Race Tip

HANDSTANDS (1) came back from a first-time fall at Wincanton to land the G2 Esher Novice’s Chase at Sandown over 3m. Steps back down in trip but distance looks to be optimal. Top choice. CHERIE D'AM (7) found an eye-catching 7L success in the Listed Lady Godiva Mares’ Novice’s Chase. Mares allowance will help her to finish near. SAINT DAVY (6) placed 4L third behind the top pick in the Sandown G2 first-time tackling chasing. May have come on from that performance. HILLCREST (2) only took to chasing this season and is yet to place. Softer conditions underfoot will aid his challenge.
