The most appealing option in an uncompetitive opener is TUBA, who has a bit to prove over hurdles but is a dual AW winner this spring.

Racing Post Pick

Tuba

Our Expert Tip

TUBA may be worth taking on here and the vote goes to POPA RICH.
Now nicely handicapped and running from a much more attractive mark, POPA RICH can take the opening race.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
