Race Tip

FINGAL'S HILL (1) has been highly tried in his career but continues to hold form well this season. Made the frame once again at this venue two weeks ago and now raised in trip cannot be dismissed whilst in the good condition. RARE EDITION (2) appears to have lost his way this season with fences. Unable to bounce back in a hurdle race two months ago and needs to improve. Rates highly on former efforts. LAWRENNY (3) pulled up after stopping quickly at Bangor-on-Dee in November. With time to recover deserves another go. SMOKERINGINTHEDARK (5) scored on hurdle debut but struggled since. Given a light campaign and a revival wouldn't surprise.
