Daily Racing Specials At 188Bet Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 14:02 | Winning time: 3m 59.20s

Bomber's Moon⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: M D Grant| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

5/1

Modest bumper performer and could only manage sixth in hurdles bow at Towcester before Christmas, leaving him with plenty improvement to find.

Form: 20-66

Diplomatico³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T J Phelan| T: D G Bridgwater

50/1

German import stopped quickly on both hurdling starts, including last time after having undergone wind surgery. Probably best watched unless the market inspires some confidence.

Form: P0

Havisham^h1,t⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/1

Won a fast ground stayers' handicap (2m1f) at Bath in 2016, so stamina not an issue and has shown a bit of ability in two runs over hurdles this season. Can continue to build on that and couldn't rule him out of the prize money.

Form: 56

Instant Attraction¹⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

8/1

Useful Flat performer (peak rating 102) and while didn't win many in that sphere often ran well in good company. Intriguing recruit to this sphere.

Form:

Oscar Bravo^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: T R George

50/1

No great shakes in bumpers for Heather Dalton in 2015/16 and well held in pair of novice hurdles since returning for new yard from layoff. Watching brief here.

Form: 7/38-00

Sparkleandshine¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Thomas

28/1

Unable to register a win and rarely threatened in four Irish point-to-point runs before joining this trainer, appeal is limited on first rules start.

Form: 74F4

Sunader¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: C E LongsdonWS

40/1

Bred to have a bit of speed about him but pulled up after jumping poor on hurdles bow over C&D in October. Returns to the fray having undergone wind surgery, should have more to offer in time

Form: 6P

Gamekeeper Bill¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: A Bailey

50/1

Has regressed with each start culminating in a particularly poor effort here earlier in the month. This is less competitive but he still has a lot to find.

Form: 5706

King's Reste^p,h,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Lucy K Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

12/1

King's Theatre mare is related to multiple winners and took a step in the right direction at Market Rasen in soft-ground novice hurdle last time. Gives her a right to be in the mix now.

Form: 644

Passing Call⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 118

1/2

Promising without winning in bumpers, has finished second in each of three hurdles starts so far (without looking ungenuine) and sets the standard for this contest.

Form: 342-222

Stylish Dancer⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: David England| T: D Skelton

33/1

Moderate maiden handicapper on the Flat for Luca Cumani and easy to back in novice hurdles at Catterick and Kempton so far, before proving unable to get a telling blow in. Best watched again seemingly.

Form: 78

Non-Runners

Working Class³¹

Weight: 10-9| Age: 4

T: O Sherwood J: Harrison Beswick

Forecasts

Passing Call (1/2), Working Class (4/1), Bomber's Moon (5/1), Instant Attraction (8/1), Havisham (10/1), King's Reste (12/1), Sparkleandshine (28/1), Stylish Dancer (33/1), Sunader (40/1), Oscar Bravo (50/1), Gamekeeper Bill (50/1), Diplomatico (50/1)

Passing Call has not done much wrong in finished second three times from as many starts over timber and should be getting off the mark soon. He sets the standard here and should go close, though the market will reflect his chance. WORKING CLASS was travelling within himself at Warwick on second start over timber when brought down and could be set for a breakthrough now. Useful Flat performer Instant Attraction could go very well if taking to jumping, any money would be noted, while King's Reste also looks capable of having a say.
