Our Expert Tip

The really expensive horse CHARTED COURSE will be fancied by many but with it probably being short odds it has to be worth taking a chance with the Hugo Palmer horse REGAL TIGER.

The Hugo Palmer 2 year olds have been flying this season and already have had winners and this newcomer gets the verdict for this in form yard.

Joseph O\'Brien had a fantastic opening day, saddling one winner and three placed horses, and his team continues to operate in excellent form.

His representative here, LIMESTONE, really caught my eye on his latest start in Ireland. For a brief moment he looked as though he might be struggling for pace, but when asked to quicken he produced a turn of foot that was extremely impressive.

The step up to 1m6f is unknown territory for many in this field, but based on the way he finished off his race over 1m5f, I don\'t see the extra furlong being an issue at all. In fact, it may bring out even more improvement.
