Roy Couchman Memorial Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:15 | Winning time: 3m 58.8s

Credo^t¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

7/2

Point winner who looked useful when winning both bumper starts in the spring. Highly respected now sent over hurdles.

Form: 11-1

Get A Tonic²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

11/1

Winning pointer who shaped really well when third of 11 in a Warwick bumper on debut. Failed to progress in a C&D event next time but is still one to view positively on this switch to hurdling.

Form: 134-

Getaway Guillaume³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T R George

150/1

Poor form in a brace of bumpers for Geoffrey Harker and finished a well-beaten sixth on last month's hurdling/stable debut at Bangor.

Form: 56-6

Lady Adare^t1²³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| D

10/3

€30,000 Sholokhov mare who landed a gamble when making all in a Newcastle bumper on debut in March. Left Micky Hammond for £82,000 later that month and one to note now going hurdling in a tongue tie.

Form: 1-

Lucky Monarch^b1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux

300/1

No show in bumpers and fared no better switched to hurdling on the back of a wind operation/3 months off when pulled up at Worcester last week. Blinkers now go on.

Form: 078P

Rhian De Sivola²³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

100/1

Just minor promise in bumpers but is related to some above-average jumpers, so should do better somewhere down the line.

Form: 68-

Rose Ohara²³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

40/1

Hit the frame first 2 starts in bumpers but proved a let-down when well held at Newbury on final outing. Bred to have a future over obstacles.

Form: 430-

Tanora¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

250/1

Unplaced in 3 points and well held in bumper/claiming hurdle. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon.

Form: 56-559

Cordey Dancer¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

28/1

Fair 10f maiden at best on the Flat in France who shaped as if in need of the experience when a well-held third on Ffos Las hurdling/stable debut 13 days ago. Perhaps more one for later on.

Form: 3

Holly³³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: J & A O'Neill

17/2

Triple French bumper winner who looks an interesting recruit for top connections. Watch betting.

Form: 1115-

Kishorn⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

80/1

Has an appealing pedigree but displayed just poor form in a brace of bumpers in the summer.

Form: 34

Tweed Skirt²⁰⁴

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

5/4

Martaline filly who built on Wetherby debut success when in listed event at Sandown (heavy). Not seen to best effect in Nickel Coin at Aintree on final start and remains a fair jumping prospect.

Form: 136-

Forecasts

Tweed Skirt (5/4), Lady Adare (10/3), Credo (7/2), Whenthepennydrops (15/2), Holly (17/2), Get A Tonic (11/1), East End Girl (14/1), Cordey Dancer (28/1), Rose Ohara (40/1), Kishorn (80/1), Rhian De Sivola (100/1), Getaway Guillaume (150/1), Tanora (250/1), Lucky Monarch (300/1)

TWEED SKIRT is a bumper winner in a top yard with a first-rate pedigree so she makes obvious appeal now switching to hurdles. Lady Adare, Credo and Get A Tonic are a trio of others who merit consideration in an interesting race of its type.
