Race Tip

LOULOU MADRIK (7) holds plenty of racing experience in this field. Last seen placing third over this course and distance twelve days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces to try and break the maiden. JOHNNY MOONSHINE (5) has missed out on the placings on both starts under Rules so far finishing fourth at Carlisle in a jumpers flat race then filling the same spot at Ayr on hurdles debut last month. Will be up there. UNION AVENUE (11) disappointed on first start over hurdles when pulling up at Hexham a couple of months ago. First-time cheekpieces may make a difference. FINBARR (4) could improve from a when resuming fourth at this venue.
