wetherbyracing.co.uk Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:29 | Winning time: 4m 14.34s

Cartonne^h1³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

14/1

5-y-o gelding who was placed both starts in points and showed ability when midfield in a 12-runner Catterick bumper (15.7f) last month. May well come forward from that now hurdling. Hood on.

Form: 337

Daddyjacks Special³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 73

300/1

Has shaped with no promise in a bumper/3 novice/maiden hurdles.

Form: 98-P0

Fenland Tiger¹⁴

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

50/1

Schiaparelli gelding who has shaped like a stayer in pair of bumpers/Catterick novice hurdle to date and he rates a likely type for later on.

Form: 983

Fishing For Likes¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: L Morgan

100/1

Runner-up in a point in May but well held in Market Rasen bumper/Catterick novice hurdle to date.

Form: 285

Mr Dealer²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: J Kington| T: A Dodgson

50/1

Fair form in bumpers early in career and some promise on belated return/hurdles debut at Southwell (20.4f) in May. Not in same form at Newcastle in December though.

Form: 6327/54

Our Jet^t³⁷

2/5

Third sole start in Irish points and smashing start over hurdles when second to Hillcrest in an Aintree novice (20f) in November. Not in same form at Warwick since but this looks a good opening.

Form: 3-24

Seven Arches⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| D

7/1

Bumper winner who showed much more than on his debut in this sphere when fourth of 10 in a maiden at Newcastle (16.2f) in November, best work finish. One to keep an eye on for handicaps.

Form: 1-8P4

Snowy Clouds⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| DWS

15/2

Point bumper winner (dead-heated) who has showed some promise in a pair of maiden hurdles at up to 17f this winter. Claims of hitting the frame on back of a wind op.

Form: 1-65

The Big Jetaway³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| BFWS

17/2

Showed ability when third on Carlisle hurdling debut in November but failed to build on that at same course since. Had wind operation.

Form: 43-PP37

Thunder In Milan^t1³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

25/1

Milan gelding who went down narrowly in an Ayr bumper (2m) in October 2020. Seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind in a couple of novice/maiden hurdles this winter, though. Tongue tied.

Form: 2-45

Lively Livvy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford

80/1

Passing Glance mare who hasn't offered much short-term encouragement in a couple of bumpers 6 months apart. Passed over now attentions are switched to timber.

Form: 67

Onestepatatime²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J S Wainwright

80/1

Has won a point but not a great deal of encouragement to glean from hurdle exploits to think she will land this. Likely type for low-grade handicaps.

Form: 0321/64

Scattercash¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Dobb⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Morgan

150/1

Mahler mare. Won sole start in points (Mar 2020) but easy to back and offered little both starts over hurdles this winter.

Form: 1/95

Forecasts

Our Jet (2/5), Seven Arches (7/1), Snowy Clouds (15/2), The Big Jetaway (17/2), Cartonne (14/1), Thunder In Milan (25/1), Mr Dealer (50/1), Fenland Tiger (50/1), Onestepatatime (80/1), Lively Livvy (80/1), Fishing For Likes (100/1), Scattercash (150/1), Daddyjacks Special (300/1)

A runner-up behind the highly-progressive Hillcrest on hurdles debut at Aintree in November, OUR JET wasn't in quite the same form at Warwick next time. However, on the back of a wind op, he's fancied to get back on track and come out on top. Snowy Clouds, Cartonne and Seven Arches can make the frame.
