Race Tip

INDEEVAR BLEU (2) secured a 2.5L hurdle win on similar going delivering second attempt at Leicester. Races from a top mark representing in-from yard. Leading contender. DESERT HALO (3) showed ability placing 1.5L second tackling hurdles for the second time at Lingfield. Might find the underfoot conditions difficult. Possesses plenty of talent. Claims. GLYNN BRAE (1) got off the mark first time with hurdles then downfield to a talented novice at Aintree next time. Finds easier task and not to be discounted. LAGANHILL (5) makes his debut. Well-bred by leading sire Kayf Tara out of a winning Nicky Henderson mare. Consider.
