Play Last Horse Standing With Vickers.Bet Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:30 | Winning time: 5m 5.28s

Golfe Clair³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 120| CD

13/8

Doubled his tally over hurdles in a C&D novice on debut for this yard in August, well on top finish. Cast aside a lesser effort when an excellent second in a handicap in January. Sets clear standard.

Form: 9-1U152

Chase Outlaw³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

18/1

€30,000 3-y-o, £27,000 5-y-o. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Blue Tara. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points but shaped as though amiss on Rules debut.

Form: 81-P

Lisloran²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Ross

100/1

Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Kissesforkatie. Maiden Irish pointer and looks a handicap project under Rules.

Form: P-5367

Patagonia⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/1

Brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Diego du Charmil, and half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Days of Heaven. Promise amidst greenness when fourth in a C&D novice in December.

Form: 4

Where's Hector³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 112

5/6

Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Does He Know. Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles so far, runner-up all 3 starts. Same story again is likely.

Form: 222

Zwicky¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

200/1

Little promise so far.

Form: 9405

Forecasts

Where's Hector (5/6), Golfe Clair (13/8), Patagonia (7/1), Chase Outlaw (18/1), Lisloran (100/1), Zwicky (200/1)

GOLFE CLAIR was right back on his game when runner-up in handicap company at Catterick in January and a repeat of that effort will likely suffice in novice company. Where's Hector has finished runner-up all 3 starts so far and a similar scenario is envisaged again.
