Race Tip

EAST INDIA DOCK (1) is second-favourite for the G1 Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Can enhance his claims here. Created a taking impression in the G2 Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle at this venue during November and could remain unbeaten over hurdles. The main danger may come from SAUVIGNON (2) who is a Paul Nicholls trained French recruit. Landed a Listed three-year-old hurdle last June and commands respect making UK debut. STENCIL (3) was disappointing among G3 company at Compiegne (France). Looked promising winning both starts prior. Cannot be ignored. QUANTOCK HILLS (4) warrants consideration.
