Lawton Tubes Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 17:32 | Winning time: 4m 32.50s

Blue N Yellow³⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: J Farrelly

10/1

Made a winning debut in a good ground bumper at Worcester last July. Form of that nothing to write home out and worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.

Form: 1-

Clondaw Anchor^h1¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/8

Finished runner-up in an Irish point-to-point on soft-to-heavy ground back in November. Represents a yard in good form (8/29) and is one to note in a first time hood on rules debut.

Form: 2-

Minella Warrior⁴⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| BF

2/1

Finished 2L second to a very useful rival in a bumper at Wetherby (good-to-soft) when making his debut over a year ago. One to note now switched to hurdles.

Form: 282/

Primogeniture¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: M Keighley

16/1

Dual winner on the Flat but beaten 29L in a soft ground novice hurdle at Towcester last time and likely to find at least one too good in this.

Form: 84/3-

Sammylou^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

18/1

Struggled in two starts since switched to hurdles and likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicap contests.

Form: 4049P8-

Scottshill¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill

40/1

Placed in a point-to-point and a bumper for previous yard but well held in two outings over hurdles since joining this stable and others have a more obvious chance on this occasion.

Form: 5/23290-

Turangi¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 122

11/2

Soundly beaten in two starts since making a promising debut at Ascot (good-to-soft) in November. More needed if he's to break his maiden in this.

Form: 780-

Forecasts

Clondaw Anchor (11/8), Minella Warrior (2/1), Turangi (11/2), Blue N Yellow (10/1), Primogeniture (16/1), Sammylou (18/1), Sehayli (25/1), Scottshill (40/1)

CLONDAW ANCHOR showed plenty of ability when placed in a point-to-point and he is taken to get his rules career off to the best possible start in this novice hurdle. Blue N Yellow, the winner of a bumper on his sole start so far can claim second ahead of the returning Minella Warrior who can take third on hurdling debut.
