Chris Young Memorial 'National Hunt' EBF Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 13:24 | Winning time: 5m 8.97s

Big Bresil²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

9/2

Better for bumper run and off the mark over hurdles in good style at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) when last seen in February. Plenty of scope for improvement and big shout up in trip on return.

Form: 2/21-

Crypto²⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| BF

6/1

£200,000 purchase after dotting up in bumper for Micky Hammond in March 2019. Bit underwhelming in bumper/2m Ludlow novice hurdle for new yard last season but likely to do better at some point.

Form: 1/54-

Delgany Monarch³³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe

125/1

Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Tyrone House. Third sole start in Irish points 11 months ago. Likely to need more time.

Form: 3-

Frankie Baby^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex

18/1

Useful pedigree and ran easily his best race to date when third in first-time cheekpieces in 22f Stratford novice hurdle last month. Could do better still, possibly one to look for in handicaps.

Form: 330-53

Get Your Own²⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

12/1

Runner-up on point debut in December and still in with every chance when running out at the last the following month. Found a pretty strong race for his hurdles bow.

Form: 2R-

Nickoboy

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: T Lawes

125/1

Full of Gold gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (2¼m-2½m winner) Highway To Hell. Stiff task on debut against some useful prospects.

Form:

Rabski^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

11/2

11/1, successful debut in Ffos Las bumper in this headgear last month, sent for home long way out by 10-lb conditional and kept up to work despite running green. More to come now hurdling up in trip.

Form: 1

Rivarros²⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: C E Longsdon

100/1

Last of 5 finishers sole start in Irish points in March. Plenty on his plate on hurdles debut.

Form: 5-

Straight Swap¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

22/1

Pointing background and down the field in a couple of maiden hurdles last month. One for the longer term.

Form: 23P-88

Take Your Time¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls

11/8

Point winner who made an encouraging hurdling debut behind mighty prospect Bear Ghylls over C&D 3 weeks ago, plugging on. Open to improvement and big shout.

Form: 1-3

The Quiet Don²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: L Wadham

40/1

Closely related to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Getabuzz. 14/1, shaped better than distance beaten suggests in 22f Stratford maiden hurdle on debut last month and should have a future.

Form: 5

Isla's Dream⁶³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

18/1

From the family of the prolific Yellow Flag. Two from 2 in points but not seen since February 2019.

Form: 11/

Forecasts

Take Your Time (11/8), Big Bresil (9/2), Rabski (11/2), Crypto (6/1), Get Your Own (12/1), Frankie Baby (18/1), Isla's Dream (18/1), Straight Swap (22/1), The Quiet Don (40/1), Rivarros (100/1), Delgany Monarch (125/1), Nickoboy (125/1)

Point winner TAKE YOUR TIME made an encouraging start over hurdles behind a good prospect here 3 weeks ago and can take this with improvement on the cards. Big Bresil looked useful himself when scoring at Exeter when last seen and should go well on his return. Rabski went with plenty of zest when winning a Ffos Las bumper last month and can make his mark in this sphere also.
