Royal Bath & West Of England Society EBF Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 13:55 | Winning time: 4m 59.9s

Lady Adare^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 125

1/4

Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond last March and has created a good impression over hurdles, her opening win at Uttoxeter strong form and ultimately well on top at Newcastle. Hard to beat.

Form: 1-11

Khalina Star^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

28/1

Tongue tied and never really involved on last month's hurdles bow. One for further down the line.

Form: 655

Lady Wilberry⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke

40/1

Out of a winning hurdler/chaser so can do better over obstacles but she looked limited in bumpers.

Form: 85-7

Peerless Beauty⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| BF

4/1

Irish point winner. Fifth of 18 in strong bumper at Aintree on Rules debut in October and runner-up twice after. Backward step at Ludlow but now goes hurdling with lots of potential.

Form: P15228

Rose Ohara^t1⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

18/1

Fair in bumpers but well behind Lady Adare starting out over hurdles and below that level in December. Since had a wind op and is fitted with a tongue tie.

Form: 430-69

What A Pleasure²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: C J Down

100/1

Bumper efforts weren't devoid of promise but she missed all of 2021 and was pulled up on recent debut over obstacles.

Form: 97-P

Wind From The West³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W GreatrexWS

33/1

Promise in bumpers and from a good jumps family. Little to get excited about over hurdles so far and she's now had a wind operation.

Form: 38-9P

Weight: 11-7| Age: 6

T: H Brown J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Lady Adare (1/4), Plenty Of Time (13/8), Peerless Beauty (4/1), Rose Ohara (18/1), Khalina Star (28/1), Wind From The West (33/1), Lady Wilberry (40/1), What A Pleasure (100/1)

LADY ADARE should be hard to beat in a thin contest. Peerless Beauty looks the danger on her hurdles debut.
