Thank You Roundwood Gin Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 3m 55.1s

Pasvolsky⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| D

9/2

Plenty of experience in points and solid start in bumpers, getting off the mark in determined style at Wincanton. Showed a good attitude to follow up on Fakenham hurdle debut and entitled to improve.

Form: 453-211

Marada¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 126| CD

1/1

Won twice over hurdles in the autumn, including over C&D, and improved back in a novice after 12 weeks off when second at Market Rasen (16.6f) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Seems sure to go well again.

Form: 5-21152

Hystery Bere¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Symonds| OR: 125

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler in France, winning in July, and confirmed the promise of his British debut when readily landing 3-runner affair at Fontwell (17.7f) 17 days ago. Open to further improvement.

Form: 422121

Bold Pimpernel⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: C E LongsdonWS

125/1

Tailed off both starts over hurdles. Has had a wind operation.

Form: P/23-07

Oasis Prince¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Bryony Frost| T: L WadhamWS

15/2

Fairly useful but temperamental on Flat (stays 1¼m). Ran to only a modest level sent hurdling at Market Rasen in November and has since had a wind operation.

Form: 5

Rabski^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| D

14/1

Successful debut in Ffos Las bumper in this headgear in October. Has yet to match that form over hurdles but it remains early days.

Form: 168

Seymour Promise¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard

28/1

Is already developing a patchy profile, going backwards from his hurdling debut when only tenth of 12 in a novice at Newbury 2 weeks ago.

Form: 4-030

Ladi Chala²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

33/1

Modest maiden on Flat in France, best effort at 1¼m. Has joined a good yard ahead of hurdle debut, so worth a peek in the betting.

Form:

Now I'm A Believer⁵³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

80/1

Modest Flat performer who was operating below her best when last seen in 2019, so can only be watched on this switch to hurdling for new handler.

Form:

Wireless Operator¹⁴³

Forecasts

Marada (1/1), Hystery Bere (7/2), Pasvolsky (9/2), Oasis Prince (15/2), Rabski (14/1), Wireless Operator (14/1), Seymour Promise (28/1), Ladi Chala (33/1), Now I'm A Believer (80/1), Bold Pimpernel (125/1)

MARADA steps out of mares only company for the first time, but she clocked another respectable timefigure after 12 weeks off when second at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago and perhaps hasn't finished improving just yet. Hystery Bere still looked a little rough around the edges at Fontwell so has more to come, with Fakenham-winner Pasvolsky also feared.
