Race Tip

MAKING HEADWAY (3) won on hurdle debut at Carlisle last October before a strong second in the G2 Newton Novices Hurdle tackling this trip at Haydock. Fair fourth attempting the Aintree G1 Formby Novices Hurdle on Boxing Day and could prove hard to beat back down in level. EAST INDIA EXPRESS (2) was a creditable fourth at this venue contesting a 2m5f novices hurdle. Can show more back down in journey. HASTHING (1) found success by 0.75L contesting a Catterick 2m3f novices hurdle. Shortlist. JACK BLACK (9) has been sound in his first two efforts, placing in both. Further improvement is anticipated.
