Race Tip

A wide-open Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle. Given he was hardly disgraced managing fourth in the G1 Tolworth Hurdle at Aintree MAKING HEADWAY (7) looks to be on a workable mark. He won nicely back in a novice hurdle at Newbury attempting latest and is considered. JIPCOT (13) returned from three months off to score authoritatively at Huntingdon last week. Worth including under a penalty. GO DANTE (8) must enter calculations off the same mark as when third behind a progressive performer at Newbury. BAD (10) doesn't tend to do out front but warrants thought after missing by a head at Ascot.
