Race Tip

Nicky Henderson has won this previously and LULAMBA (4) is an exciting prospect. This winner of the G1 Champion Four Year Old Hurdle last year didn't have to jump a full set of fences (removed due to low sun) when making a winning chasing debut at Exeter however he did it nicely and may take a step forward. LUMP SUM (3) created a positive impression scoring first time out over fences at Uttoxeter and could be the one to capitalize should the main selection falter. BE AWARE (2) followed home a useful rival in the G2 November Novices Chase at Cheltenham last time and cannot be completely dismissed. ALNILAM (1) rounds out the field of four runners.
