Race Tip

KABRAL DU MATHAN (3) has not finished outside the top two in all four starts. Was narrowly beaten attempting the Ladbrokes Premier Handicap Hurdle at Ascot last time. Will take beating. BRENTFORD HOPE (1) is consistent. Brings three wins and four placings past seven starts. Markedly down in grade after placing 2.75L second in the G2 Elite Hurdle at Wincanton and not to be discounted carrying top weight. NAVAJO INDY (12) bids for a four-timer after victories including at Wincanton and Bangor-on-Dee as well as the Gerry Feilden Intermediate Premier Handicap Hurdle at Newbury. Well-handicapped. Great chance. BEAT THE BAT (5) returned with a 3L second at Haydock during November. Goes well fresh.
