BoscaSports Racing's Digital Display Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:58 | Winning time: 4m 36.34s

Any Job Will Do²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen

66/1

Didn't shape with a great deal of immediate promise on this month's C&D debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 7

Bollingerandkrug³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

15/2

Related to a couple of useful winners and has shown ability in bumper and a couple of maiden hurdles. This 5-y-o will probably come into his own when faced with a stiffer test.

Form: 3-45

Elysian Flame²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 120

1/2

Useful/progressive form on the Flat and has shown plenty over hurdles, second to in-form rival after 11 weeks off at Leicester last time. Leading claims.

Form: 355-2

Fete Champetre^h1⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| CD

7/2

Fetched €70,000 as a 3-y-o and justified market support when making a winning debut in a bumper here last month. Fitting of a hood for this hurdles bow is a slight concern, but he's clearly promising.

Form: 1

Grumpy Mcgrumpface¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: K Dalgleish

25/1

Fair in bumpers, but hasn't shown much in a couple of maiden hurdles to date.

Form: 424-885

Khamsin Moor²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

22/1

Just minor promise starting out in a Haydock bumper earlier this month and opposable now switched to hurdles.

Form: 4

The Electrician²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith

28/1

No show in bumper won by Fete Champetre here on debut last month, but showed far more promise when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces on hurdles bow over this C&D. Place possibilities.

Form: 02

Whats The Matter²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A Hamilton

100/1

Has offered little in a couple of bumpers and hard to warm to on this hurdles debut.

Form: 98

Lizzie Loch²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Connor Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Whillans

50/1

Modest winner on the Flat (stays 1¾m) and has cut little ice in 3 starts in this sphere.

Form: FP7

That's Your Lottie^h,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: K Scott

250/1

Beaten a long way in 2 bumpers at the beginning of the year and same story since switched to hurdles.

Form: 58-99

Forecasts

Elysian Flame (1/2), Fete Champetre (7/2), Lady Villanelle (4/1), Bollingerandkrug (15/2), Khamsin Moor (22/1), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (25/1), Coolkill (25/1), The Electrician (28/1), Lizzie Loch (50/1), Dunnottar Castle (50/1), Any Job Will Do (66/1), Whats The Matter (100/1), That's Your Lottie (250/1)

FETE CHAMPETRE will need to perform to a decent level in order to topple Lady Villanelle and Elysian Flame on this hurdles debut, but he looked the part when landing a bumper here in November and may well be equal to the task. Elysian Flame chased home a useful novice at Leicester and should pick up a race in this sphere before long. He is next best ahead of stylish Hexham winner Lady Villanelle.
