Race Tip

MATWANA (6) maintains consistent hurdle form including winning impressively by 10L at Doncaster two starts back in December. Placed second tackling a Listed juvenile hurdle at the same venue last time and markedly down in class rates a leading contender. WIND YOUR NECK IN (3) transfers from the flat to jumps. Best result last year came at Chester only beaten a neck second over this distance. Interesting. SMALL TOWN KID (1) won tackling track and trip on rules debut during November. Last start did not finish at Kelso rising in journey. Dangerous and may bounce back. LIVANO BELLO (5) rounds out the shortlist.
