Race Tip

The high-class SIR GINO (2) was imperious when landing the G1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton by 6L after closing previous campaign with a G2 win at the same venue. Sets the standard. Leading contender. THE NEW LION (3) resumes from a Newcastle G1 fall tackling 2m1f when travelling strongly turning for home. If jumping holds may threaten. Main danger. NEMEAN LION (1) brings proven G1 top-three form and cannot be discounted in view of a creditable third attempting the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle most recently. Claims. BRENTFORD HOPE (4) produced a Haydock Park hurdle win contesting 1m7 1/2f and maintains form. Steps up in class yet warrants consideration.
