Race Tip

The G1 Liverpool Hurdle winning STRONG LEADER (7) started this new season in great form with a 3.5L success attempting the 3m G2 Long Distance Hurdle three weeks ago at Newbury. Can maintain the strong streak of form. Leading contender. Irish runner THE WALLPARK (8) bids for a five-timer after a 2.5L victory in a 3m handicap hurdle during October at Cheltenham. Rates highly. Winner of this last year CRAMBO (4) was below par at the end of the former campaign. Enjoys this track. In the mix. SHOOT FIRST (6) could surprise following a 2.75L win in a 3m premier handicap hurdle a month ago at Haydock. Each-way claims.
