Ascot Race 1 - Safer Gambling Week 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
MILAN TINO (4) is a smart performer who placed in a G2 hurdle in France. Ran with credit last month at Auteuil (France) tackling the 3800m G3 Prix Haras du Reuilly Hurdle. Top selection down in grade. HONKY TONK HIGHWAY (5) won a Listed jumpers flat race at Sandown on rules debut before finishing tenth attempting the 3400m G2 Nickel Coin Mares Jumpers Flat Race during April at Aintree. Rates highly for a leading yard. FIRST CONFESSION (1) displayed promise at Cheltenham last month placing third over 4000m. That form has worked out well. Makes for appeal. OAK GROVE (3) is open to further improvement.
