Race Tip
ITTACK BLUE (1) justified favouritism taking a course and distance maiden hurdle after a lengthy break. Fitness will be a big advantage over main rival REACH FOR THE MOON (6) where the latter was good enough to win at G3 level on the flat and was fourth in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield when last seen in February so may continue to improve. KOPA KILANA (5) resumes after seven month break. Closed off previous campaign with a ninth at Carlisle. Holds plenty of experience. INDEPENDENT JIMMY (4) is an each way contender making fourth career start.
