TIP 1: IT’S EASY - 1pt Win
Best odds of 10/3 at bet365 while publishing.
The Joe Tizzard stable remain in good form so Ugo Bingo has to be respected but preference instead goes to IT’S EASY (best priced at 10/3) who comes into this race off the back of a close 2nd last time. The Cath Williams trained eight-year-old has won three times in her career, all on heavy ground including by 40 lengths last season off a mark of 103.
It’s Easy ran well to finish 2nd beaten only ½ length last time at Fontwell on soft ground off a mark of 103 and she runs here off the same mark despite being raised 2lbs by the handicapper on Tuesday. She looks the one to beat in these conditions if she can repeat that run only 8 days later.

TIP 2: DOCTOR KILDARE - 1pt Win
Best odds of 3/1 at bet365 while publishing.
This 0-120 handicap chase looks to be between the two handicap debutants Fairye Forth and DOCTOR KILDARE (best priced at 3/1) with preference going to the latter who is now fitted with first-time cheekpieces. The Sam Thomas trained six-year-old made a winning reappearance last season at Bangor before following up over this 3m1½f trip at Hereford off a mark of 112.
Doctor Kildare wasn’t as good on his next two starts at Doncaster and Chepstow but now makes his reappearance following a 306 day break with another switch of headgear. He looks the type to have progressed over the summer and should prove hard to beat.
