Today’s tip comes from Wetherby where Caroline Bailey sends out her trusted campaigner KILLARD POINT hoping to dominate a small field. Good win-run ratio as pointer and notched fifth success over regulation fences when gamely getting the better of 4lb lower mark over C&D latest. Andrew Thornton knows the horse well, having won on him before, and the stable is also in great form.

Today’s tip comes from Chepstow where Robert Alner brings CASHEL BLUE back to the course in the hope of repeating last year’s success in the same race. Last year he won off a 3lb higher mark than today, again on good to soft ground. Soundly beaten all four subsequent outings but two of those have been in chases and the other two, over hurdles. All were in very testing ground and in higher grade. The stable is running very well and he’s well in with a chance today.
