The final race can go to Tonic du Charmil while Bill¿s Echo, Papua and Don Valentino are all worth noting. Matin Pipe looks to have picked the right race for Tonic du Charmil who was not beaten far at all on his seasonal reappearance at Worcester last time out. With improvement likely he can get of the mark here. Bill¿s Echo has been running consistently well this season and is worth noting in the betting market as is Papua who did manage a win on soft ground on his penultimate start but looked exposed back on fast ground around here last time out. Tony McCoy rides Don Valentino who carries a nice racing weight but was well beaten at Perth on his last outing. So for the winner we return to Tonic du Charmil.
