Race Tip

The form of a QUEENSBURY BOY (1) jumpers flat second at Punchestown took a boost when the winner went on to place twice in G1 hurdles. Jumped nicely making a winning hurdling debut at Doncaster 20 days ago and may follow up for a stable that won this last season. CAPTAIN BELLAMY (4) battled on well to finish first past the post in a novice hurdle here during December only to be disqualified. Effectively escapes a penalty for that effort and looks a major player back from a break. With a Haydock maiden hurdle win SKI LODGE (2) might go well if handling drop back in trip. NAZARE (6) rounds out the shortlist.
