Race Tip

An intriguing beginners chase. JOYEUSE (4) was a premier handicap hurdle winner last season. Ran well on chasing debut last month posting a runner-up effort on soft ground contesting the 2m1f Listed Yorton Mares Novices Chase at Bangor-on-Dee. Top pick. BRENTFORD HOPE (2) is a smart performer gaining a second in the 2m1f G2 International Hurdle at the start of the year at Cheltenham. Shaped with credit when resuming over fences when fourth tackling the 2m November Novices Chase at Cheltenham. Progress expected. BEAT THE BAT (1) recorded good efforts in competitive handicap hurdles at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals last season. Interesting on chase debut. MIRABAD (3) might fill fourth spot.
