MY LITTLE TIP looks to land a quick-fire hat-trick having followed a romp at Salisbury with another easy success at Yarmouth earlier in the week. Neptune Legend won at Newmarket earlier and went close again at Kempton a fortnight ago. He’s preferred to Eternal Glory, who could only manage third at Pontefract last time. Tricky Business is fitted with a visor and preferred to Matty Too.
