Sky Bet Supreme Trial Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:31 | Winning time: 4m 7.22s

Llandinabo Lad³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: N de Boinville| T: T Symonds| OR: 141| BF| CD

13/8

Surpassed bumper form when making a winning hurdling bow after 11 months off at Bangor. Followed up in C&D listed event prior to excellent second in Ascot Grade 2. May be up to defying a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 4/22-112

Faivoir³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 131| D

7/1

Fairly useful in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, easily resuming winning ways back in a novice at Ludlow (15.8f) 38 days ago, despite again showing the odd quirk. This demands more, though.

Form: 11-2141

Minella Drama⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 134

9/4

Promising second to Llandinabo Lad on hurdling debut before winning a brace of 2m novices in clear-cut fashion, despite flashing tail. Clearly a good prospect and may progress again up in grade.

Form: 22-211

Nada To Prada³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore| OR: 132| C| D

5/1

Point/useful bumper winner who looks a useful mare in the making, supplementing her Ffos Las maiden win in listed event here (18.9f) 35 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but there could be more to come.

Form: 11-211

Anythingforlove^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 122| D

10/1

Dual bumper winner who easily opened her account over hurdles in 2m Lingifeld novice in December. Followed up under a penalty in a similar event at Catterick and open to further improvement.

Form: 11-411

Forecasts

Llandinabo Lad (13/8), Minella Drama (9/4), Nada To Prada (5/1), Faivoir (7/1), Anythingforlove (10/1)

LLANDINABO LAD lost his unbeaten record over hurdles in the Kennel Gate when attempting to concede weight all round, but this doesn't appear to have the same amount of depth, so he's fancied to defy a penalty at this second time of asking at this level. The promising Minella Drama is feared most ahead of Nada To Prada.
