Race Tip

LONG DRAW (6) was well-placed to win out a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham by 5L two weeks ago. Useful claimer booked to offset the big rise in weight. Can double up as a consistent performer. LORD ACCORD (7) returns to hurdles after placing 10L second in the 63rd Badger Beers Premier Handicap Chase at this venue in November. In good form. Main danger. STAY AWAY FAY (1) is a surprise entry into this sphere. G1 winner over hurdles and G2 victor over fences. Underperformed in previous two chasing starts failing to finish. Hurdles may rejuvenate the winning form. IKE SPORT (4) returned back over hurdles to finish 33L fifth at Sandown. Top flat jockey Oisin Murphy booked to ride.
