Race Tip

HALL LANE (1) put behind four disappointing efforts to finish runner-up contesting a Huntingdon handicap chase a month ago. Can go one better. MCGREGORS CHARGE (4) was racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts in five starts before pulling up in a Hexham handicap chase back in October. Now represents a new trainer and may bounce back. CAVE ARTICLE (5) makes first appearance since August 2025 when third in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot. Interesting following an elongated break. GATA BAN (6) is not discounted after placing third a month ago at Plumpton and holds winning form at this venue.
