Raceline: Tip of the Day 12th December

Wednesday December 12

NO DEAL

Hexham 12.20 WIN

Three miles on heavy ground around Hexham is a stiff test for any horse, never mind these maiden hurdlers. But if any animal possesses the right attributes for such an examination it’s Lucinda Russell’s six-year-old recruit from the point-to-point field in Ireland. The son of Revoque has stamina to burn and displayed a gritty, tenacious attitude to get the better of a Donald McCain favourite to win a Carlisle bumper on his UK debut last month. He faces only four rivals on his hurdling bow today, none of which are any great shakes. You can ask me the question, Noel.....deal or No Deal?!
