Huntingdon Season Opener Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:57 | Winning time: 3m 47.57s

Impulsive One^h,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-5| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson

1/4

Fairly useful on the Flat in these colours for William Haggas and took apart his rivals on hurdles debut at Plumpton (17.8f) a fortnight ago, winning full of running. Sure to progress.

Form: 1

Aggagio¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

15/2

Flat winner who wasn't knocked about back over hurdles for new yard at Plumpton behind Impulsive One. Not unbacked there and can probably do better, but suspect he's more one for handicaps.

Form: 77

Morani Kali¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Martin Smith

100/1

Poor maiden on balance of form on Flat. Very hard to fancy on hurdles debut.

Form:

Prey For Glory¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: D P Quinn

66/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Well beaten both starts over hurdles for this yard in recent weeks, dropping away behind Impulsive One at Plumpton.

Form: 48

Risky Business^p,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Martin Smith

150/1

Little show on the Flat/in 2 races over hurdles.

Form: 66

Tarseem

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/1

7,000 gns 3-y-o, Dawn Approach gelding. Half-brother to German 1m winner Al Muthanna. Dam 1½m winner. Top yard and he wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to pick up some prize money.

Form:

No Escape⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: R Spencer

80/1

Little impact in Flat maiden/2 juvenile hurdles.

Form: 66

Forecasts

Impulsive One (1/4), Tarseem (5/1), Aggagio (15/2), Prey For Glory (66/1), No Escape (80/1), Morani Kali (100/1), Risky Business (150/1)

IMPULSIVE ONE won as he liked on his hurdles debut at Plumpton recently and can follow up, this drop back in trip unlikely to faze him. Dan Skelton's Tarseem could be the one for the forecast if he's ready to go first time up.
