Racing TV Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 3m 49.36s

Boreen Boy^t1⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| DWS

8/1

Belied odds of 16/1 to make winning debut in bumper at Listowel. Failed badly to meet expectations on Fontwell hurdles/yard debut 3 months on but since had wind op (tongue tied) and should do better.

Form: 18

Creationist^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: L Carter

50/1

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 2m, below form in 2022. Possesses the raw ability to be a factor over hurdles though all best form on the level came on the AW. Headgear back on.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

7/1

Shaped like a stayer both starts in bumpers but kept to 2m for this hurdles debut.

Form: 35

Jeremy The Jinn^t1³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109| BF

1/1

Bumper winner at Market Rasen on debut in May. Good efforts over hurdles at Taunton this winter, losing second near finish last month. That form puts him right in the mix. Tongue tie fitted.

Form: 1633

Laureldean Cross^t³⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales

40/1

Bumper winner in Ireland for Sam Curling in July 2020. Bought for £31,000 but limited promise both starts over hurdles and off since April. Market may guide for new yard.

Form: 8130-

Second Subaltern¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: T Gallagher

125/1

Fair form in bumpers, looking more straightforward when fourth at Stratford (16.3f) on final run in May. Badly in need of the experience starting out at Sandown recently.

Form: 5/2U-45

Sherella⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Corey McGivern⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

250/1

Related to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 2½m) Hi Tide. However, she's established as a poor maiden on Flat (stays 7f) and showed nothing on hurdles debut.

Form: 0

Cornicello⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 94| BF

13/8

Fairly useful on the Flat in Germany and has made the frame all 4 starts over hurdles, hampered and rallying well in handicap company over C&D last month. One to beat.

Form: 3243

Iconic Mover²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

250/1

Poor maiden on Flat and hurdles efforts devoid of promise.

Form: 50

Forecasts

Jeremy The Jinn (1/1), Cornicello (13/8), Doublethetrouble (7/2), Dr Seb (7/1), Boreen Boy (8/1), Laureldean Cross (40/1), Creationist (50/1), Second Subaltern (125/1), Iconic Mover (250/1), Sherella (250/1)

It might be worth taking a chance on BOREEN BOY, who flopped in the mud when last seen in December but had looked pretty good in an Irish bumper prior to that and has since had a breathing operation. Cornicello and Jeremy The Jinn set a solid if unspectacular standard over hurdles.
