Race Tip
ALNILAM (3) returned after a five month lay-off with a promising fourth in a sixteen runner Newbury maiden hurdle. Entitled to improve with benefit of a conditional claim. PRIMOZ (1) arrives freshened following a three month lay-off. Struggled among G2 company when last seen and will appreciate revisiting this level. BALLYFORT (4) rates a place chance after two solid efforts including when 7L fifth behind the second mentioned in latest. Would need to show more if reversing form. BREIZH RIVER (6) holds each way claims. Entitled to progress for hurdling debut.
