Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 3m 59.52s

Porticello²⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

6/4

Winner of a newcomers' race at Auteuil (14.9f, soft) on sole start for David Cottin in France in April. That form is working out very well and he's an exciting prospect.

Form: 1-

Genuflex^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris

10/1

Flat winner for Richard Hannon and confirmed hurdles debut promise when bolting up at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) recently. Yard in good form and while this is much tougher, he's open to improvement.

Form: 21

Keepyourdreamsbig²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 106| BF| D

50/1

Proved more game than others when opening account in 2m Worcester juvenile last month. However, subsequent display at Fontwell was inauspicious and he looks up against it here.

Form: 21P

Oceanline²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| BF

9/4

Dual winner on the Flat this year and well clear of the rest when beaten just over a length by Too Friendly on debut in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, good). Should make his presence felt.

Form: 2

Sacre Pierre⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 113| D

11/2

Looked good when landing juvenile hurdles at Uttoxeter and Cartmel during the summer. This is a far tougher assignment, but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. Player.

Form: 11

Addosh³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 108

9/1

Flat winner for Hugo Palmer and stepped up on opening run in this sphere when scoring at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) last month, quickening clear in good style. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 21

Battle Angel¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| CD

20/1

Perfect start in this sphere when accounting for half-a-dozen rivals over this C&D recently, but she has much more on her plate here.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Porticello (6/4), Oceanline (9/4), Too Friendly (3/1), Sacre Pierre (11/2), Addosh (9/1), Genuflex (10/1), Battle Angel (20/1), Keepyourdreamsbig (50/1)

Several promising types on show here, not least SACRE PIERRE, who looks potentially useful judged on his clear-cut victories at Uttoxeter and Cartmel. The form of Porticello's debut success at Auteuil is working out particularly well and he is greatly respected, while Too Friendly is taken to confirm Stratford placings with Oceanline and take a hand in the finish.
