Race Tip

A wide-open renewal of this feature G1. A chance is taken on IL EST FRANCAIS (7) who burst a blood vessel in the G1 Prix Haye Jousselin Chase at Auteuil last November. An easy winner of the G1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase at this meeting last season and is selected to bounce back to form returned to this venue. Last year's G1 Turners' Novices' Chase winner GREY DAWNING (6) posted an excellent effort when runner-up in the G1 Betfair Chase at Haydock last month. Respect. SPILLANE'S TOWER (10) cannot be left out of the equation after finishing second in the G1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase. BANBRIDGE (1) is also considered.
