Edwalton Fields Bovis Homes Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:31 | Winning time: 5m 2.50s

Dionysis^h1¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman| T: M Weatherer| OR: 100

28/1

Easily best run in Britain when 3 lengths second of 7 in a 2m course novice in July but failed to repeat that effort in a handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago. Hood on for 1st time.

Form: 4P/4P-20

Father John¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J HendersonWS

12/1

Overcame inexperience to land gamble in Hexham bumper on debut in June 2019. Went the wrong way 22 months on at Warwick and was again well beaten sent hurdling at Worcester in May. Enough to prove.

Form: 1/8-5

Guernesey¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

9/4

Ex-French hurdler who posted good third in 2m handicap at Warwick in February before not enjoying the best of runs when seventh at Newbury on final outing. Remains low mileage and obvious player.

Form: 24/5237-

Samba Dancer²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

1/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Eoin Doyle in Ireland who ran his best race with the headgear left off when second in 2m4f Worcester handicap 3 weeks ago. Sure to be in the thick of the action with a repeat.

Form: 305-352

Wild Breeze^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: R Hobson| BF

17/2

Successful in a point bumper and showed promise under a positive ride (tongue tied) when fourth in conventional one at Worcester (2m) 17 days ago. May do better now hurdling up in trip.

Form: 14

Zulu Dawn²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 107

8/1

Fairly useful in bumpers but below that level over hurdles, proving a disappointment on his belated return at Bangor 23 days ago.

Form: 4555U/4

Grenadier Guard¹⁶

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

Forecasts

Samba Dancer (1/1), Guernesey (9/4), Zulu Dawn (8/1), Wild Breeze (17/2), Father John (12/1), Dionysis (28/1), Paschals Dream (33/1), Grenadier Guard (100/1)

GUERNESEY didn't have much go right upped to this trip on his final run at Newbury last season and he remains of firm interest with still relatively few miles on the clock. Samba Dancer is sure to be in the thick of the action if reproducing his Worcester second, while Wild Breeze can prove best of the remainder.
