Race Tip

It was disappointing that HILL OF TARA (6) couldn't complete a hat-trick when second at short odds at Southwell (2m4 1/2f) last month. Possibly that run came too quickly however with the Venetia Williams team in form at present this son of Kayf Tara can return t winning ways under optimum conditions. Huntingdon (3m1f) handicap hurdle winner CHRIS COOL (4) was a good runner-up at Bangor-on-Dee in latest and will have no problem with testing ground. SHOESHINE BOY (5) cannot be discounted on the back of a sound second-placed finish in a Class Three handicap hurdle at Kelso. SPORTY JIM (2) heads the remainder.
