Race Tip

FRENCH SHIP (1) caught the eye securing a 2.25L win attempting a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Chepstow prior to a decent Newbury novices hurdle fourth over 2m5f where the winner has won a G1 since boosting form. Leading contender. THE FINAL WORD (11) represents a top yard. Ran below market confidence when seventh contesting a 2m Chepstow jumpers flat race during October. Improvement expected. THISTLE BE THE ONE (12) produced a 7.5L second in a 2m novices hurdle here. Makes for appeal. GEORGE HENRY (4) posted a creditable fifth tackling a 2m4f novices hurdle at Wincanton. Holds claims.
