Napoleons Casino, Restaurant And Bar Sheffield Fillies' Juvenile Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 12:55 | Winning time: 4m 1.10s

Filipine^t1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson

25/1

Not much to shout about in three starts in bumpers. Tries her hand over timber in a first-time tongue tie and is best watched.

Form: 6F8

Foxy's Spirit¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy

50/1

Out of the frame in all nine starts on the Flat when trained by Tim Easterby. Starts out for a new stable and is readily opposed on hurdling debut.

Form:

Gemologist¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Joe Colliver| T: C & M Johnston

11/1

Moderate maiden on the Flat and showed only limited promise on hurdling bow at Catterick. Should improve for the experience, but needs to.

Form: 5

Golden Image¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: T Symonds

5/1

Winner over 1m4f for Harry Dunlop in June and shaped well on subsequent outings. Makes her hurdling debut for a new stable and can get involved if taking to this discipline.

Form:

Kheleyf's Girl³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: C Ellam

150/1

Maiden after 17 attempts on the Flat and was pulled up on her first try at jumping at Wetherby. Hard to make a case for.

Form: P

Lady Cylla³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: T Lacey

6/1

One of two runners for a trainer making a name for himself. Decent jumping pedigree and showed ability on debut in a bumper at Warwick. Interesting on hurdling debut.

Form: 5

Oenophile^p1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton

66/1

Unplaced on the Flat and two runs over hurdles have been underwhelming. Fitted with cheekpieces and needs to show dramatic improvement in them.

Form: P4

Queen Adelaide⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: J Ryan| OR: 101

5/1

Winner on the Flat at Catterick in October and two subsequent runs over hurdles have seen her placed at Fakenham and Hereford. Has experience on her side and can get involved.

Form: 32

Tomorrow's Angel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine

3/1

Promising maiden on the Flat and has shaped well in two starts on the AW for current trainer. One of the more interesting newcomers to hurdling.

Form:

Via Delle Volte⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey

9/4

Stable companion of Lady Cylla who was placed twiced on the Flat for Joseph Tuite this year. Hurdling debut and is one to note in the betting.

Form:

Non-Runners

Club Tropicana²⁶

Weight: 10-12| Age: 3

T: R Spencer J: Aidan Coleman

Forecasts

Via Delle Volte (9/4), Tomorrow's Angel (3/1), Golden Image (5/1), Queen Adelaide (5/1), Lady Cylla (6/1), Club Tropicana (13/2), Gemologist (11/1), Filipine (25/1), Foxy's Spirit (50/1), Oenophile (66/1), Kheleyf's Girl (150/1)

The betting should be the best guide to the respective chances of stable companions Lady Cylla and Via Del Volte and a market check is also advised for another hurdling debutant, Tomorrow's Angel. Queen Adelaide boasts the best form of those to have run over timber, but the vote goes to GOLDEN IMAGE, who showed a fair degree of ability on the Flat and could be hard to beat if taking to jumping.
