Race Tip

THAT'S NICE (2) could bounce back to winning ways after dropping out tamely when a warm order for a novice hurdle at Cheltenham 27 days ago. The mare created a big impression to make a successful hurdling debut at Warwick during November and should appreciate going back up in distance. It is tough to ignore the unexposed STAR WALKING (1) who relished the step up in trip when narrowly prevailing in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last month. The runner-up that day GAME COLOURS (4) is better off at the weights and cannot be ignored. EL FABIENNE (3) warrants consideration.
