Cazoo Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:04 | Winning time: 5m 5.3s

Jetaway Joey^p,t¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

3/1

Bumper winner who belatedly put it all together over hurdles wearing first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap when successful in maiden at Perth (20,2f) in April. Will find life tougher under a penalty.

Form: 1/2F331-

Baddesley²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: C Gordon

11/4

Fontwell bumper winner who showed an aptitude for hurdling before his 20-month absence told when third at that venue (17.7f) 4 weeks ago. Entitled to improve and respected.

Form: 214/3

Gms Prince³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R Patrick| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 109

12/1

Modest in bumpers but has achieved a fair level of form over hurdles, including when keeping on to snatch second at Warwick (2m) 33 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to winner.

Form: 558-432

Jet Plane²⁶

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

5/1

Progressed from hurdling debut on the back of 6 months off/wind surgery when second in a 15.8f maiden here 26 days ago, but the form looks no better than fair.

Form: P/286-2

Lunar Lander²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph

200/1

Looks limited on early evidence.

Form: 84P-

Mr Tg¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J Mackie

50/1

Offered something to work on sole bumper outing for Neil Mulholland, but efforts over hurdles for new yard leave him with a mountain to climb.

Form: 4/P-6

Nothin To Ask^t²¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

7/2

Made the frame in Irish points and plenty of encouragement when placed all 3 bumper starts, latest at Stratford in March. Will be suited by this step up in trip on hurdle debut and not discounted.

Form: 545/223-

Pass Me By¹⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

16/1

Shaped with some promise when reaching the frame in a pair of bumpers for Mel Rowley. Subsequently sold for £30,000 and his pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit now tackling obstacles.

Form: 3-4

Sempione Park²⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens

80/1

Off mark in Irish points at sixth attempt but well held in 2 novice hurdles under Rules.

Form: 837169-

Bolsover Bill¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: W GreatrexWS

80/1

Well held in 2 bumpers, in tongue tie last time. Has had a wind operation ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Form: 8-7

Here Comes Henry²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

14/1

Runner-up sole start in points (Mar 29) and offered something to work on sent hurdling when fifth of 9 in a 21f Warwick maiden last month, keeping on gradually straight. Should improve.

Form: 2-5

Roger Rarebit^h1³²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

40/1

Showed only a bit when third in 4-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f) on debut in December, weakening when headed 3f out. Goes hurdling now up in trip in a first-time hood.

Form: 3-

William Cody¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly

50/1

Steady progress in 3 bumper runs and this longer trip a plus now hurdling.

Form: 962

My Foxy Lady^t³²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: T Wall

250/1

No promise in bumpers/2 hurdle starts and was well held on sole Flat outing when last seen 10 months ago.

Form: 66PP/

Forecasts

Baddesley (11/4), Jetaway Joey (3/1), Pipesmoker (3/1), Nothin To Ask (7/2), Broken Halo (4/1), Jet Plane (5/1), Tigerbythetail (13/2), Gms Prince (12/1), Here Comes Henry (14/1), Pass Me By (16/1), Roger Rarebit (40/1), William Cody (50/1), Mr Tg (50/1), Sempione Park (80/1), Bolsover Bill (80/1), Lunar Lander (200/1), My Foxy Lady (250/1)

BADDESLEY seems likely to build on his hurdling debut third at Fontwell, form which has already been franked, so he could be the answer. Pipesmoker sets a useful standard on the pick of his form for Nicky Henderson but was disappointing at Ffos Las on Thursday. Tigerbythetail looks another good prospect for Olly Murphy from the bumper sphere.
