Race Tip

SELMA DE VARY (10) can turn the tables on MAESTRO CONTI (5) and MINELLA STUDY (6) as the trio rematch after the G1 2m1f Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. She shaped with huge promise when a 3. 5L fourth on only her second try. Willie Mullins has won this race two times in the last three years with mares. MAESTRO CONTI (5) is the main danger after his second-place finish. MINELLA STUDY (6) travelled strongest and may prefer the sharper track. WINSTON JUNIOR (7) caught the eye when a strong-staying second in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month. AMMES (1) is not discounted on his early-season form including a 11L win at Chepstow in October.
