bet365 Juvenile Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:51 | Winning time: 4m 2.27s

Douglas Fir³³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Ross

150/1

Last of 6 sole Flat start for Mark Johnston and tailed off behind Sans Logique on C&D hurdle debut 33 days ago.

Form: 7

Genever Dragon⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: D McCain Jnr

16/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Tom Dascombe. Ought to be up to making an impact in a race like this if taking to hurdling.

Form:

Kings Creek⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 102

9/2

Modest maiden on the Flat (seems to stay 11f). Similar level when in the frame in a couple of juvenile hurdles for Alan King this summer and now sets out for new trainer Iain Jardine.

Form: 44

Magna Moralia²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: J & S Quinn| BF

10/11

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m), successful at Hamilton in July. Appeals as a likely type for juvenile hurdles.

Form:

North Point^t1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for David Elsworth. New connections went to 22,000 gns to acquire him last month. Tongue tied first time.

Form:

Sans Logique^p1,t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| BF

3/1

Fair winner on Flat in France (stays 1¼m). Unable to justify market confidence on C&D hurdle debut last month but showed promise in leading for a long way and is likely to improve. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 4

Spit It Out⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett

100/1

Little form on Flat so doesn't strike as a likely type to make a successful start over hurdles.

Form:

The Trendy Man^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Colliver| T: L Bailey

100/1

Modest Flat winner this summer but sent off at 66/1 when unseating at the third on Southwell hurdle debut and has since left David O'Meara.

Form: U

Forecasts

Magna Moralia (10/11), Sans Logique (3/1), Kings Creek (9/2), North Point (7/1), Genever Dragon (16/1), Spit It Out (100/1), The Trendy Man (100/1), Douglas Fir (150/1)

John Quinn does pretty well with juvenile hurdlers and MAGNA MORALIA certainly appeals as one who could make a mark in this sphere after reaching a decent level on the Flat this summer. Sans Logique was only fourth on his C&D hurdle debut last month but went off at short odds so is evidently thought capable of better and he may provide the main threat ahead of Donald McCain's Genever Dragon.
