Millbry Hill Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: -

El Jefe^h1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: B Ellison

12/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who pulled hard when well held on hurdles debut in December. May do better with a hood now applied.

Form: 7

Homme Public^t1¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

13/8

Fairly useful form when second of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil in October. First run for yard after leaving Francois Nicolle and he sets the bar pretty high. Tongue tied.

Form: 22

Lanval¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

150/1

Well held in 3 minor events on Flat. Sold from David Menuisier for only 1,000 gns in October, so others make more appeal on this switch to hurdling.

Form:

Machios⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish

7/1

Fairly useful on Flat, sold from Andrew Balding 25,000 gns. Related to useful jumper Hallings Comet and seemed to need initial experience when third to Fiveandtwenty at Musselburgh.

Form: 3

North Point^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David England| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

125/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m). New connections went to 22,000 gns to acquire him but just minor promise over hurdles so far and stablemate Homme Public much more likely.

Form: 40

Salamanca School¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex

40/1

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1¼m. Made little impact in that sphere in 2020 and weakened out of things on hurdles bow at Ascot recently.

Form: 8

Tinnahalla^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 110

13/8

Showed plenty of ability on the Flat for Jamie Osborne. Could do with settling down a bit but stepped up on his opening hurdles run when second of 8 at Kempton a month ago.

Form: 42

Warranty^b³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| D

7/1

Fairly useful 2m winner on Flat for Mark Johnston. Best effort over hurdles when third of 5 at Sandown latest but could do with brushing up his jumping.

Form: 6C3

Non-Runners

Feldspar³⁵

Weight: 10-12| Age: 4

T: K Dalgleish J: Craig Nichol

Forecasts

Tinnahalla (13/8), Homme Public (13/8), Feldspar (9/2), Machios (7/1), Warranty (7/1), El Jefe (12/1), Salamanca School (40/1), North Point (125/1), Lanval (150/1)

HOMME PUBLIC brings fairly useful French form to the table and if he matches that level on British debut he may well get off the mark. Tinnahalla is a definite threat, particularly if settling better this time, with Feldspar also of interest.
