Christmas Hurdle

Straw Bear makes his belated return to hurdles on Friday, and he looks to have a great chance in the race he won last year. He beat his biggest rival Punjabi by a long way that day and with the going likely to be on the soft side he looks to have a great chance at 6/1. He ran well in the champion hurdle but clearly does not perform best around Cheltenham and he can score back at Kempton.

Two fancies today, Jardin De Vienne and Will The Till, they both look to have solid chances and 7/1.
