Robert Case Memorial Conditional Jockeys' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 3m 56.32s

Askinvillar^h³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Mark Gillard

10/3

Point winner who showed more than on hurdling debut on his first start for Mark Gillard after 3 months off when third in a well-run maiden over C&D 37 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 31/093

Coastguard Station^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 109

14/1

Scored in points after showing modest form under Rules in Ireland for S. Curling, but ran poorly starting out for a new yard in a Hereford handicap 30 days ago. Bit to prove.

Form: 321129

Dom Perry^h⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Lewis Dobb⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Morgan| CD

9/1

Bumper winner last term. Raced too freely when sixth on 19f Catterick hurdle debut/reappearance in January so the drop back to 2m looks a logical move. Retains potential.

Form: 12-6

Watashock⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Katie O'Farrell| T: D Skelton

6/1

Clear signs of ability in bumpers and is bred to make a hurdler. Needs considering in a weak race.

Form: 0-38

Fae The Port^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Corey McGivern⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Wadham

16/1

Fair Flat winner but hardly blessed with bags of stamina and has made a discouraging start over hurdles, albeit ridden with an eye to the future last time.

Form: 84

Norman Kindu¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

Fair on the Flat for David O'Meara (albeit not his best last time), so he's a worth a look now hurdling having joined another shrewd stable.

Rewired³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Cillin Leonard⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 107| BF

5/6

Fairly useful winner on the Flat and promising start over hurdles when second at Kempton in December. Has matched rather than bettered that form since but still the one to beat here.

Form: 242

Raqisa^h,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

66/1

Fair 12f winner on the level for Jedd O'Keefe but comfortably held both outings over hurdles.

Form: 77

Forecasts

Rewired (5/6), Askinvillar (10/3), Watashock (6/1), Dom Perry (9/1), Boreen Boy (10/1), Coastguard Station (14/1), Fae The Port (16/1), September Power (33/1), Norman Kindu (50/1), Raqisa (66/1)

REWIRED hasn't really kicked on since a promising start over hurdles at Kempton in December, but he still sets the standard and has to be considered the one to beat in a weak-looking affair. Askinvillar should be a factor if reproducing his latest effort over C&D, while Watashock has shown some promise in bumpers and is bred to make a hurdler.
