Race Tip
CALSHOT SPIT (1) made all in comfortable fashion tackling a staying flat handicap. Runner-up from just 1lb lower on his previous hurdle start. Strong appeal. ATREIDES (3) returned from an absence to finish fourth over course and distance in August. Sent off favourite on that occasion so better might have been expected. Improvement possible. NO MEAN FEAT (4) finished runner-up in two of four attempts representing new yard. Clearly on a workable mark and holds each-way claims. MARTIN SPIRIT (5) possesses a low strike-rate with hurdles. Demands respect based on recent flat efforts.
