Roflow Dust & Fume Lev Ventilation Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 19:20 | Winning time: 4m 36.10s

Golfe Clair⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

2/1

Winner of 16.3f Clonmel maiden on hurdles debut for Joseph O'Brien in June. Held every chance when unseating 2 out at Tramore subsequently and sets a good standard on this debut for new yard.

Form: 59-1U

Kensington Art^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 114

5/4

Dual Flat winner who has acquitted himself fairly well on each of his 3 starts in this sphere. More needed if he's to trouble Golfe Clair, but he's much the second best of these on hurdles form.

Form: 343-

Mister Chiang⁶⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland

9/2

Four-time Flat winner for Mark Johnston. Absent since tailing off at York in October 2019 (since sold for 32,000 gns), but stamina won't be an issue now hurdling and one to note in the betting.

Form:

Thornton Le Clay^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby

15/2

Winless following a dozen starts on the Flat and half-a-dozen between the flags. Probably best watched on hurdles debut.

Form: P2UP-2P

Big Business¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: D Thompson| OR: 76

40/1

No impact in a handful of appearances so far and he's hard to make a case for. Yard also saddles Movin'on Up.

Form: 6-950

Movin'on Up⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 64

150/1

Winner of sole start between the flags, but yet to show any worthwhile form under Rules and, like stablemate Big Business, she makes very little appeal.

Form: 8/600P-P

Forecasts

Kensington Art (5/4), Golfe Clair (2/1), Mister Chiang (9/2), Thornton Le Clay (15/2), Big Business (40/1), Movin'on Up (150/1)

Had he not unseated at the second-last at Tramore last month, GOLFE CLAIR would probably be 2-2 over hurdles and is presented with a golden opportunity to make a winning start for new connections in this uncompetitive affair. Mister Chiang's wellbeing has to be taken on trust, but he was pretty useful on the Flat and shades preference ahead of Kensington Art for forecast purposes.
