    Race Analysis

    AUTHORIZED MISSION (4) followed up a win at Kelso with a 1. 75L second attempting a 2m6 3/4f handicap hurdle at the same venue. Looks capable of returning to winning ways. IKARAK (2) suffered a 9. 3L defeat placing third in a 2m7 3/4f handicap hurdle at Sandown just under four weeks ago. Expected to deliver another big effort. HIGHLAND FASHION (7) managed to break through for the first win of his career scoring by 1L over 2m7 3/4f at Newcastle during November. Must be considered. PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS (1) fell three out tackling a two runner 2m4f chase at Uttoxeter last month. Strong chance on his earlier hurdling efforts.
