Race Tip

POTTERS CHARM (2) has carried all before him this season tackling the novice hurdle division and looks well-poised to stretch his unbeaten hurdling streak to five. Always looked in command winning the G1 Formby Novices Hurdle at Aintree over Christmas and likely to relish stepping back up to 2m4f at this track. BILL JOYCE (1) has 11lb to find on official ratings. Obvious threat on the back of a solid third attempting the G1 Challow Novices Hurdle at Newbury. QUEBECOIS (5) finished runner-up behind the just mentioned when they met at Sandown in the G2 Winter Novices Hurdle. Cannot be completely ignored. SIXMILEBRIDGE (6) might feature up in class.
