Northam tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.30 · William Pike

Gabex makes his debut with the significant advantage of having William Pike in the saddle. The Simon Miller stable is known for having their horses ready to perform first-up, and the application of a tongue tie suggests they're addressing any potential issues. The barrier draw is favorable, but as an unraced runner, there's limited form to assess.

By The Wood gets the nod as top selection primarily due to the significant jockey booking of William Pike, who rarely rides debutants without confidence.
