Race Tip

Open looking maiden hurdle where most of the runners will be long term projects. SPRINGHILL WARRIOR (15) has been off the track for 316 days. Shaped nicely when debuting and whilst absence is a worry he is of strong interest hurdling. RISKABAHIA (20) finished well held making stable debut eight weeks ago. With a first time hood fitted could improve racing for Willie Mullins and warrants consideration. EMBRACE THE DAY (3) is a debutante for Gavin Cromwell having won a point to point last year. Market check is advised. I STARTED A JOKE (4) needs to bounce back from a disappointment two weeks ago.
