Tip 1: She Is For Me Boys - 1pt Win

SHE IS FOR ME BOYS (best priced at 5/2) was an impressive winner at Kempton on her reappearance before stopping quickly when sent off favourite for a competitive Mares’ Handicap Chase at Cheltenham’s December meeting. Jamie Snowden has given her a wind operation since that run so that looks a valid excuse and she had previously won her PTP and her chasing debut in good style.

Racing here off a 1lb lower mark and dropped back down in grade to this Class 4 0-110 handicap, it would be disappointing if she didn’t bounce back to winning ways in this race.

Tip 2: Ace Of Spades - 1pt Win

The Dan Skelton trained ACE OF SPADES (best priced at 9/4) looks the solid option in this 0-145 handicap hurdle where he faces Bold Endeavour who is returning from a 369 day break and two pulled efforts and Onewaywest who fell last time at Kempton. The seven-year-old made a winning reappearance at Aintree over 2m4f and has run well on his next two starts in better races when 4th at Haydock in Grade 3 handicap hurdle and a close 2nd behind Ma Shantou in a Class 2 at Cheltenham last time.

The handicapper has raised Ace Of Spades 4lbs for that close 2nd last time which is fair and he looks the one to beat in this weaker contest off top weight.

Tip 3: Aisling Oscar - 1pt Win

The Adrian Keatley trained AISLING OSCAR (best priced at 13/8) has now won six races in a row at this track and he should hold strong claims under a 5lb penalty. The five-year-old started his winning sequence off a mark of 46 but because he is yet to win by further than 1 ¾ lengths, his mark has only increased to a rating of 65 in those six victories.

Aisling Oscar gets the assistance of Conor Whiteley claiming 7lbs this time but he is an uncomplicated ride and he should be able to cope with this further step up in grade.
