Strong Flavours Catering Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 4m 53.00s

Beet Topper¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith

200/1

Placed in a point-to-point on debut but pulled up twice in that sphere subsequently. Others make more appeal on Rules debut.

Form: 3-PP

Getaway Trump²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

11/10

Beaten 16L by Commanche Red in a bumper at Kempton (2m, soft) in February. Promising 28L fourth on debut over hurdles at Chepstow (good) last time and capable of running well once more.

Form: 34/146-4

Go Forrit²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: D W P Arbuthnot

5/1

Good efforts in bumpers and ran well when finishing 18L third in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Fontwell (good-to-firm) last month on debut in this sphere. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 4-433

Pete's Choice^p1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison

150/1

Failed to figure on sole complete in point-to-points and it was a similar story in a Sandown bumper on Rules debut recently. Wears cheekpieces for the first time.

Form: 7P-0

Ruffling Feathers¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: C L Tizzard

12/1

Promising fourth in a bumper on good-to-soft ground at Wincanton in April. Slightly disappointing at Newton Abbot (good) the following month however and makes his debut over hurdles in this event.

Form: 84-8

Saturdaynightfever²⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: N D Fehily| T: F O'Brien

11/4

Decent efforts in three starts in bumpers including in a 2m contest at Kempton in February. Worth a check in the market on hurdling and seasonal debut.

Form: 457-

Sheila's Fancy²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: M J Attwater

33/1

14 race maiden under all codes and beaten 24L at Fontwell (2m3f, good-to-firm) on hurdling debut last month. Interesting if building on that effort.

Form: 4

Storm Fire^v1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr

200/1

Well beaten third on sole placed effort in bumpers and unseated ride at the first when debuting over hurdles at Exeter (2m1f, good) recently. Visor tried for the first time.

Form: 0-36U

Talktomenow²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

11/2

Winner of a point-to-point on debut at Easingwold (3m, good) in April. Hampered mid-race that day and an interesting contender on debut under Rules.

Form: 1

Vetoncall¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: A E Jones

66/1

Point-to-point winner on soft-to-heavy going in Ireland in February. Struggled on both starts under Rules however and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 3/521P-7

Spendable¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: P York

200/1

Failed to figure in a point-to-point and four starts in bumpers. Probably best watched on her first outing over hurdles.

Form: 45489

Forecasts

Getaway Trump (11/10), Commanche Red (5/4), Saturdaynightfever (11/4), Go Forrit (5/1), Talktomenow (11/2), Ruffling Feathers (12/1), Peddler (16/1), Sheila's Fancy (33/1), Vetoncall (66/1), Pete's Choice (150/1), Spendable (200/1), Beet Topper (200/1), Storm Fire (200/1)

COMMANCHE RED impressed on hurdling debut and he is taken to follow-up in the opening race on the card. Getaway Trump finished behind the selection in a bumper earlier this year and can finish runner-up ahead of point-to-point winner Talktomenow who can take third on Rules debut.
