In Loving Memory Of Edward Bevan Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:06 | Winning time: 6m 23.61s

Mac Be Lucky¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

66/1

Has offered little on both his runs over hurdles in 2m Ludlow novices. Significantly up in trip but very hard to fancy.

Form: 506

Phantom Getaway³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 120| D

3/1

Fairly useful form when runner-up in maiden hurdles over 21f at Ludlow and Ffos Las. Holds solid place claims.

Form: 61-522

Rabble Rouser^p1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

80/1

Twice-raced maiden, only eighth of 9 in novice hurdle here (19.4f) 22 days ago. Goes back up in trip with cheekpieces on and plenty to find on form.

Form: P8

Scipion²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 131

1/4

Excellent third in Warwick Grade 2 before well-beaten third to Hillcrest in Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock 29 days ago. Sets a high standard back in maiden company.

Form: 22-233

Forecasts

Scipion (1/4), Phantom Getaway (3/1), Mac Be Lucky (66/1), Rabble Rouser (80/1)

Essentially a match, and SCIPION looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account having contested Graded events on his last two starts. Phantom Getaway is no slouch though so should ensure Tom Lacey's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way in this maiden hurdle.
