Lara Telfer Reined In For Racing Welfare Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 6m 14.29s

Streets Of Doyen⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R Johnson| T: J C McConnell| OR: 130| D

11/4

Useful hurdler who arrives on a four-timer having landed a minor hurdler with a bit up his sleeve at Cork 6 days ago. Looks sure to put up another bold showing.

Form: 6U3111

The Macon Lugnatic²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling| OR: 129

10/1

Bumper winner who showed a cracking attitude to land a couple of novice hurdles at Doncaster last term. Should get the longer trip, so capable of getting involved if tuned up for this return.

Form: 618/P11-

Minella Encore⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 130| D

9/4

Point/bumper winner who, having left Willie Mullins, made a successful start for his new yard in a novice at Uttoxeter 45 days ago. Looks a player with return to this trip likely to suit.

Form: 14/232-1

Polish²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| BF

5/2

Built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 21f Ludlow maiden in February and back on track when fourth in a novice at Bangor on return. May strip fitter for that outing, so he's one to consider.

Form: 2145-4

Another Stowaway^p,t²⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 127

22/1

Useful chaser who was below his best when last seen and will likely be using this as a pipe-opener ahead of a return to that sphere.

Form: 36/7929-

Poppa Poutine³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

11/1

£100,000 buy after finishing second in an Irish point on debut in February and made a pleasing start under Rules when third in a novice at Perth. Should relish this stiffer test.

Form: 2-3

Forecasts

Minella Encore (9/4), Polish (5/2), Streets Of Doyen (11/4), The Macon Lugnatic (10/1), Poppa Poutine (11/1), Another Stowaway (22/1)

STREETS OF DOYEN has been in rampant form in Ireland of late and boasts excellent claims in his bid to defend his unbeaten record in Britain (landed a Bumper at Ayr on debut). Minella Encore makes appeal after a winning start for Dr Richard Newland, while Polish has the ability to take a hand if he can step forward from this encouraging reappearance.
