bet365 Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:25 | Winning time: 4m 6.22s

Le Magnifique^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 121

13/2

Took advantage of waywardness of the favourite when opening account in similar event at Sedgefield in November. Rusty and mistakes in listed event at Musselburgh 4 weeks ago. Lots of potential still.

Form: P14

Bad Rabbit¹⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

10/1

Half-brother to bumper winner I Hope Star. Just a fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m). Has joined red-hot local trainer but plenty of improvement to find to figure on this hurdles bow.

Form:

Benito

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: T Lacey

18/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including jumpers Aterisk (useful) and Albares. One to note on debut.

Form:

Caldwell³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 102

7/2

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who has shown promise on both starts over hurdles despite his jumping needing some work. Latest Warwick form looks good and he has more to offer.

Form: 24

Feldspar²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 124

6/4

Fair winning stayer on the Flat and he's made a promising start over hurdles, placed twice at Musselburgh (in front of stablemate Le Magnifique in listed event latest). Leading claims.

Form: 33

Les's Legacy³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett

200/1

Faded and well beaten in Newcastle bumper on debut last month. Dam was a prolific winner over hurdles.

Form: 0

Magna Moralia¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 117| BF

16/5

Dual Flat winner but proving expensive to follow in this sphere, turned over for the third time as favourite and proving particularly disappointing when last seen at Catterick in November. Risky.

Form: 224

Monash^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies

100/1

Fair maiden on the level but has shaped like a non-stayer in 2 previous runs over hurdles over shorter.

Form: 7P8

Brodick^t⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

50/1

Modest Flat maiden who has finished down the field in 2 runs over hurdles at Musselburgh fitted with tongue tie.

Form: 54

Forecasts

Feldspar (6/4), Magna Moralia (16/5), Caldwell (7/2), Le Magnifique (13/2), Bad Rabbit (10/1), Benito (18/1), Brodick (50/1), Monash (100/1), Les's Legacy (200/1)

Keith Dalgleish could hold the key to this and Fred Winter entry LE MAGNIFIQUE looks set for a big run. He looked rusty returning from 3 months off at Musselburgh and retains plenty of potential for this game. Stablemate Feldspar isn't in at Cheltenham but definitely has races in him over jumps, as does Caldwell for Michael Scudamore. Benito is an interesting newcomer.
