Race Tip
BLACK POPPY (4) makes seasonal reappearance. Brings some top-class handicap hurdle form from last campaign and remains on a winnable mark. Top chance. TEDDY BLUE (3) closed off previous preparation with a good second behind the main selection in a Newbury handicap hurdle. Conditional claim assists with current handicap weight. AFADIL (7) steps up in class on return. Finished off last season with a 2L success at Ayr in a handicap hurdle. Contender. CASTEL GANDOLFO (6) brings the benefit of race fitness. Second at Market Rasen in latest.
