Race Tip

IBERICO LORD (1) made a winning start with fences last time at Kempton over 2m2f. Looked impressive that day and could have another easy task here. The one to beat. WESTERN ZEPHYR (2) encountered an impressive chaser placing 0.75L second in the G2 Arkle Trial Novices Chase at the Cheltenham November meeting. Winner since scored in the G1 Henry VIII Novices Chase. Major form claims. RYAN'S ROCKET (3) transitioned successfully to chasing with a 3L victory at Chepstow. Might be out of his depth here. HERE COMES GEORGIE (4) got off the mark tackling fences at Wetherby previously. Unlikely to win.
