wetherbyracing.co.uk Juvenile Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:15 | Winning time: 3m 55.56s

Come On Jack^t1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby

150/1

Showed just modest form at best in minor events on the Flat and offered little tried over hurdles at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: P

Lindwall⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

4/1

Fair stayer on Flat, got an AW hat-trick up for Sir Mark Prescott recently. 15,000 gns purchase and could make his mark (half-brother to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler Prefontaine).

Form:

Patient Dream³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

9/2

Useful on Flat (should stay 1½m), won 3 handicaps in 2021, sold from Ralph Beckett 68,000 gns in October. Classy on the level and no surprise to see him figure on hurdles debut.

Form:

Skycutter¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

5/6

Useful on Flat (stays 1½m), good fourth in November Handicap last time. Related to a smart hurdler in France and plenty to like.

Form:

Subtle Innuendo¹¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth

50/1

Little promise on the level at 2 yrs but showed a bit on hurdles debut for the Easterbys at Market Rasen in the summer. Handicaps might be more his bag.

Form: 3

Tarseem²⁴

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

7/2

Promise amidst greenness on debut at Huntingdon and still to be asked for effort when unseating 3 out back there 24 days ago. More to come and leading claims.

Form: 3U

Uccello¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

80/1

Modest maiden on the Flat, raced up to 1½m, sold from Karl Burke 5,500 gns. Some hope for him in this game as a full-brother to fairly useful hurdler Commentariolus (2m winner).

Form:

Fleeting Blue²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: T Coyle & K Wood

150/1

Modest maiden on Flat for yard, stays 1¼m, fourth of 6 in claimer last time. Plenty to find now going hurdling.

Form:

Infinite Beauty²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson

250/1

Just modest form for James Tate and well beaten in 2 runs (Flat handicap and Fakenham juvenile hurdle) for this yard 6 months apart.

Form: P

Non-Runners

Liberated Lad²⁸

Weight: 10-12| Age: 3

T: Ian Williams J: C J Todd

Moulins Clermont¹⁰

Weight: 10-12| Age: 3

T: G & J Moore J: J E Moore

Poetria¹⁸

Weight: 10-5| Age: 3

Forecasts

Skycutter (5/6), Tarseem (7/2), Moulins Clermont (7/2), Lindwall (4/1), Patient Dream (9/2), Liberated Lad (12/1), Poetria (16/1), Subtle Innuendo (50/1), Uccello (80/1), Fleeting Blue (150/1), Come On Jack (150/1), Infinite Beauty (250/1)

A few to consider, but SKYCUTTER brings some useful Flat form to the table and showed his well-being with a fine run in the November Handicap 3 weeks ago. He can make a successful start over hurdles. Tarseem has more to offer for Dan Skelton, while it's too soon to give up on Moulins Clermont, who sets a good standard on his debut form in France. Patient Dream is also shortlisted.
