Heath Farm Meats TBA Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:36 | Winning time: 5m 7.23s

Granny's Secret²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling

9/1

Point bumper winner who left hurdles debut effort in her wake when off the mark in a Huntingdon mares' maiden (19.6f) in March. Return to further no problem on return and she may do better again.

Form: 1/381-

Wynn House²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

8/13

Fairly useful bumper winner who made light work of 11-rivals to score on hurdles bow at Bangor (19.5f) on return in September. Looks sure to progress and she's a big player under a penalty.

Form: 1/22-1

Champagne Lilly²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

5/2

Malinas half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Champagne At Tara (2m-17f winner). Won 4 of 5 starts in points and she's well worth a look in the betting on hurdles bow for powerful stable.

Form: 111/F1-

Crystal Gazing^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

16/1

Fair bumper winner who stepped up on hurdling debut when fourth in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Almost certainly better to come, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 2147-54

Howdilyoudo²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden

22/1

Offered something to work on in bumper/mares' novice hurdle 11 months apart, fourth over timber at Market Rasen (16.5f) in September. Entitled to progress now upped in trip.

Form: 3-4

Something Rosie^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: O Signy

125/1

£10,000 5-y-o, Gold Well mare. Placed in points, however on the back of wind surgery, looked a likely longer-term project when eighth of 11 in a Sedgefield mares' novice 2 weeks ago.

Form: 356/2-8

Tinctoria^t²⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 64

400/1

Little to shout about in various company and likely set for another struggle here.

Form: P/1PF3P-

Forecasts

Wynn House (8/13), Champagne Lilly (5/2), Granny's Secret (9/1), Crystal Gazing (16/1), Howdilyoudo (22/1), Something Rosie (125/1), Tinctoria (400/1)

WYNN HOUSE was fairly useful in bumpers and made the perfect start over hurdles when landing a Bangor mares' novice in September. Jumping soundly in the main, she's open to improvement in this sphere and is fancied to defy a penalty. Multiple point winner Champagne Lilly is interesting for Nigel Twiston-Davies, and along with Crystal Gazing, heads up the dangers.
