Race Tip
FLORIDA DREAMS (8) won two jumpers flat contests last season including a G2 at Aintree.Reappeared to place at Ayr last month and looks the one to beat on hurdling debut representing a stable going well at present.ESPRIT DU POTIER (7) recorded a double on the flat at Ayr earlier this year.Returned from a long break in October finishing runner-up at Kelso.Expected to make his presence felt as he transitions to jump racing.Any moves in the market for fellow hurdle newcomers COASTAL ROCK (4) and RAFFLES WONDER (14) are to be noted with the latter sporting a first-time tongue-tie.
