Race Overview
A few of the main protagonists have an absence to overcome in this Class 1 chase. AIN'T GOT WINGS (7) looked useful when scoring in a Listed chase when last seen in October 2022 and should be ready for this comeback run. He is preferred to HIRSON (6) who also has been off the track since a win in a Class 2 chase in May 2022 at this track. CELTIC WARRIOR (4) is returning to the track after 23 months away and his fitness is taken on trust. INAYA JONES (1) makes up the shortlist
Selection:
7 - 6 - 4
