Race Tip

A much more competitive division of this novice hurdle where the intriguing runner is FIRE WARNING (5) making debut for Nicky Henderson after finishing second at Auteuil in the autumn. He is the first runner from the Henderson stable wearing silks of powerful owner Rich Ricci and rates very highly. NORTH OF RICHMOND (1) was penalised for a victory at Fakenham before placing at Leicester. Needs more once again. BESPOKE TAILOR (3) gained placings on all three starts this season and is worth giving another chance with experience on his side. Warranting a market check is the Dan Skelton hurdling newcomer SQUARE D'ALBONI (11) who looks a good recruit.
