Race Tip

OKAVANGO DELTA (1) arrives in strong form with a 2.5L victory over this course and distance preceding a runner-up effort tackling a 3m handicap chase last month here. Top pick. WINDS OF WINTER (5) ran well last month when 4.25L second in a 2m mares handicap hurdle at this track. Shortlist on chase debut. SHADOWS IN THE SKY (2) was a comfortable 4.75L winner tackling 2m4f two starts back at Hexham. Makes appeal. DIVAS DOYEN (6) won at Carlisle prior to a good second behind the top selection here. Not discounted.
