Yorton Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 4m 51.46s

Glorious Spirit²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| D

6/1

Has come back a different mare on the back of a wind op, supplementing her bumper win with a successful debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (19.8f) 27 days ago, forging clear. Could improve again.

Form: 65-11

Saturn 'n Silk¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 117

10/3

Fair hurdler who didn't have much to beat at Chepstow (19.4f) in April but completed the simple task with the minimum of fuss. Penalty makes life tougher but she should give her running.

Form: 333431-

Tequila Blaze¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117

9/4

Fair hurdler who opened her account in 21.6f maiden at Newton Abbot in April, just holding on after leading under pressure 2 out. Should go well under a penalty for an in-form stable.

Form: F/2P221-

First Glance⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

15/2

Winning pointer who shaped with encouragement when fourth in a Kelso bumper on debut. Ran to only a modest level when third on 2½m Worcester hurdling debut but may do better.

Form: P1-43

Getaway Guillaume¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: T R George

66/1

Poor form in a brace of bumpers for Geoffrey Harker, but she has a decent NH pedigree so could do better for her new yard in time.

Form: 56-

Indian Glory¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

18/1

In top hands but just poor form in a pair of bumpers 15 months apart.

Form: 9/5-

Italian Summer⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

28/1

From a top stable but has shown little in a bumper/pair of maiden hurdles. Back up in trip.

Form: 4/P6

Out Of Nowhere⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

250/1

Well held in bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 68

She's So Lovely²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

15/2

€16,000 Mahler mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Emperor's Choice, and fairly useful 23f hurdle winner Milvale. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points.

Form: 42-

Sinndarella⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 100

7/1

Modest maiden on Flat but runner-up 3 times over hurdles. Held back by her jumping when only midfield on her handicap hurdle debut over C&D last time, though.

Form: 42227

Stamina Chope¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 110

18/1

Fair maiden hurdler at best but ran below that form setting out for another new yard after 8 months off at Fontwell 15 days ago, possibly needing the run.

Form: 54530-3

Vermillion Rose³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

150/1

Is related to plenty of winners but well held in a pair of bumpers/novice hurdles so far.

Form: 4564

Forecasts

Tequila Blaze (9/4), Saturn 'n Silk (10/3), Glorious Spirit (6/1), Sinndarella (7/1), First Glance (15/2), She's So Lovely (15/2), Stamina Chope (18/1), Indian Glory (18/1), Italian Summer (28/1), Getaway Guillaume (66/1), Vermillion Rose (150/1), Out Of Nowhere (250/1)

TEQUILA BLAZE only just held on at Newton Abbot in April, but with some of her earlier form reading respectably, she's taken to defy a penalty on this return to action. Glorious Spirit is improving all the time and rates a big threat, while Saturn 'N Silk also has the form in the book to make an impact. Rules newcomer She’s So Lovely requires a market check.
