Race Tip

MODE AVION (2) has taken pleasingly to hurdling since joining this stable. Wasn't beaten far by chief rival SOPELANA (1) on first attempt in November. Receives weight from that horse now armed with experience and going into a handicap. Top selection. The second mentioned is a useful filly with three victories to her name over obstacles and contested Listed races in between her recent wins. Big chance in a race of this nature. WHATS NEW (4) is not entirely straightforward but has shown aptitude and is second up now after a break. SEARCOG (3) has just missed the frame so far and wouldn't have to raise his game a lot.
