Race Tip

IS THIS FOR REAL (4) represents leading connections. Yet to break the maiden when hurdling finishing fourth twice in succession including five weeks ago at Taunton. Will be thereabouts. LYRIC (6) looks interesting making first hurdle appearance transferring from the flat. Gained only success attempting a maiden contest at Windsor while failed to place since. Possibilities. MADAME LA PAPILLON (10) placed second racing when resuming over hurdles and for a new trainer in a Wetherby novice hurdle. May go one better. FREDDIE STEADY GO (3) makes first hurdle appearance. Brings winning course form. Dangerous.
