Sky Bet Extra Places Every Day Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:20 | Winning time: 5m 0.48s

Barrichello³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

7/2

17/2, promising debut over hurdles when second of 5 in novice at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Sure to do better, so he needs considering.

Form: 3-32

Bollin Neil¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| C

9/1

Fair 14f Flat winner who (66/1) posted encouraging second of 12 in novice hurdle over C&D 13 days ago, finishing well. Not taken lightly.

Form: 72

Dreams And Visions¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M & D Easterby

66/1

Fair 13f Flat winner but (50/1) never-dangerous tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Sort to do better in longer term.

Form: 0

Early Morning Dew²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: P D Niven

66/1

Fair form in two bumpers for Harry Whittington, seventh at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now but faces no easy introduction on yard debut.

Form: 57

Gold Miner²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

11/10

Winning pointer who (33/1) shaped really well when clear second of 12 in novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago, travelling strongly long way. Sets a very good standard.

Form: FP4/1-2

Not What It Seems²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

14/1

Fairly useful form when landing Sedgefield bumper earlier in the month. Much respected on his hurdles debut.

Form: 4221

South Terrace²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

7/1

Failed to build on debut hurdling promise at Wetherby when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Haydock (22.8f, heavy) 26 days ago. May still do better so not ruled out.

Form: P12-64

Tardree^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: L Morgan

6/1

Fair form when scoring in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Goes over hurdles now and no forlorn hope.

Form: 3SF1-21

Teenage Dirtbag^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: C E Longsdon

150/1

Tongue strap/cheekpieces on, only fifteenth of 17 in 21f novice hurdle at Warwick 18 days ago. Lots to find.

Form: 5980

Cimetta¹³

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

Forecasts

Gold Miner (11/10), Barrichello (7/2), Tardree (6/1), South Terrace (7/1), Bollin Neil (9/1), Not What It Seems (14/1), Early Morning Dew (66/1), Dreams And Visions (66/1), Cimetta (100/1), Teenage Dirtbag (150/1)

GOLD MINER rates the clear form pick on his debut Leciester second so this winning pointer is hard to oppose with a fair bit of improvement also in the pipeline. Bollin Neil shaped encouragingly when runner-up over C&D so looks the one to chase him home ahead of Barrichello and South Terrace who can fight out the minor honours.
