MansionBet's Watch And Bet Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 3m 57.45s

Brave Seasca³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss V Williams

8/1

Is a fragile sort but showed an aptitude for hurdling after 13 months off at Exeter recently and should improve.

Form: 9/4-4

Handsome Samson^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C Brace| T: R Spencer

100/1

Placed in a bumper last season but little to shout about over hurdles and on the Flat since.

Form: 08/38-68

Interconnected⁷²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D SkeltonWS

11/10

Not seen since shaping with loads of promise in a strong Newbury novice in 2018/19 sole outing for Nicky Henderson, but still seems likely to progress. Has had a breathing operation.

Form: F12/

Potenza¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: J M P Eustace

14/1

Fairly useful on the Flat, stays 1½m, best effort when second at Doncaster last time. Not ruled out on hurdle debut.

Form:

Hamilton Dici⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| D

9/4

Struck at the second time of asking when just clinging on in 2m Warwick juvenile hurdle in December. Subsequently sold out of Jane Williams' yard for £75,000. Open to improvement.

Form: 01

Hamilton's Fantasy³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

7/1

Bred to be useful and made a promising start when second in an Ascot bumper in November. Weak in the market and went backwards on Newbury hurdle debut, but testing conditions perhaps to blame.

Form: 20

Forecasts

Interconnected (11/10), Hamilton Dici (9/4), Hamilton's Fantasy (7/1), Brave Seasca (8/1), Potenza (14/1), Handsome Samson (100/1)

The bare form of HAMILTON DICI's Warwick juvenile win is nothing flash, but he's entitled to progress further for his new yard and there's every chance he'll get the run of things out in front again here. Interconnected is a fascinating contender back form a long lay-off after showing bags of ability on his sole previous start under Rules. Hamilton's Fantasy is better than she showed at Newbury.
