Race Tip

HANDLETHEKETTLE (1) was off the mark by 1L on stable debut at Worcester last September. Not disgraced next time in a G2 hurdle at Chepstow. Fresh from receiving wind surgery and looks set for a big run when resuming. JACKPOT DES BORDES (2) concluded last season with a win and subsequent runner-up effort both at the course. Returned from a short break last month with a fourth tackling track and trip. Danger. BARA TARA (3) and HECTOR'S HOPE (4) both appear well held unless the market speaks in their favour.
