Lenny Roberts Memorial Trophy Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 2)

Off time: 12:40 | Winning time: 5m 14.01s

Beyond The Pale⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

5/6

Followed up Southwell bumper win with debut success in 19f novice hurdle at Fontwell (heavy), strong at the finish. Placed horses both gone in since so big player with longer trip sure to suit too.

Form: 3/P29-11

Arcadian Spring¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, only seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 103 days ago on final run for Harry Whittington. Has plenty to find for his new handler.

Form: S7-57

Call Simon²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin

20/1

Fairly useful form in two bumpers for Philip Hobbs but (8/1) remote third on return in 6-runner novice hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft). Lot more required for his new stable.

Form: 63-3

Cap St Vincent²⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 126| BF

11/1

Fairly useful winning chaser last term. Starts new campaign back over hurdles so not ruled out if fully tuned up for his first start for 8 months. Market can guide.

Form: 18461P-

De Young Warrior⁸⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: J Scott

25/1

10/1, very green when second in bumper at Uttoxeter over 2 years ago on sole outing for Gillian Boanas. Back now for hurdling bow but long absence is a clear concern.

Form: 2/

Getmegold³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard

9/1

€20,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Brother to a point winner. In frame in two points and with leading yard so newcomer warrants plenty of respect. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: 34-

Mister Moretti²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: B Barr

200/1

€13,000 3-y-o, Masterofthehorse gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Boleyknowsbest. Placed in point so debutant is no forlorn hope.

Form: F/3

Rockhamtom^b1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

250/1

40/1, made mistakes and offered little when pulled up in novice hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, good to soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Blinkers quickly reached for with it to prove.

Form: P

Zyon³⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/4

5/1, promising third of 11 in novice over C&D on hurdles bow 12 months ago. Bred to be useful and yard have farmed this event so he's sure to be in the mix despite long lay-off.

Form: 03/3-

Shoot To Fame^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

40/1

Modest form in two bumpers before (125/1) never-dangerous fifth of 10 in novice at Exeter (21.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Needs a big step forward now.

Form: 3/5136-5

Forecasts

Beyond The Pale (5/6), Zyon (9/4), Getmegold (9/1), Cap St Vincent (11/1), Call Simon (20/1), De Young Warrior (25/1), Shoot To Fame (40/1), Arcadian Spring (66/1), Mister Moretti (200/1), Rockhamtom (250/1)

BEYOND THE PALE created a good impression when scoring on his hurdling bow at Fontwell so is fancied to defy a 6 lb penalty with this longer trip sure to play to his strengths. Zyon represents connections that have landed this contest for the past four years so rates an obvious threat, while Colin Tizzard's newcomer Getmegold is worth considering too in an intriguing novice hurdle.
