Race Tip

Runner-up in the G1 Challow Novices Hurdle last year WENDIGO (6) concluded the season with a good fifth attempting the 3m G1 Spa Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Returned delivering a promising chase debut second over 2m4f at Worcester a month ago where the winner has scored at Listed level since. Top chance. Having gained a G1 placing REGENT'S STROLL (5) won a maiden hurdle at this meeting last year and recorded an excellent 0. 5L second in the 2m4f G1 Mersey Novices Hurdle at Aintree. Main danger. KINGSTON PRIDE (3) made a winning chase debut scoring by 2. 75L a 2m4f beginners chase at Perth last month. Makes appeal. Last start Ascot winner NO QUESTIONS ASKED (4) might feature.
