Wrexham Lager Welsh Liquid Gold Trophy 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:07 | Winning time: 4m 4.6s

Call Me Jezza⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier

250/1

Made some appeal on pedigree but was well held in a Catterick bumper on debut and has fared little better in 3 starts over hurdles so far.

Form: 0U9-4

Copper Fox⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

11/2

Closely related to modest hurdler Golden Chancer (3m-27f winner). Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Barati. Runner-up sole start in points (Apr. 2). Interesting on Rules debut.

Form: 2-

Kerosine Light^p⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

8/13

Made a low-key debut in bumper but left that effort well behind sent hurdling 12 months later, second of 15 in maiden at Gowran (2m) in March. Has left Eoin Doyle. Can improve and is the one to beat.

Form: 8/68FP2-

Kracquer⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph

33/1

On his third trainer in as many starts, probably needed the run after 17 months off when well held in maiden at Ludlow (21.2f) in March. Has shown little so far though so others preferred.

Form: 96/3-

Larusso³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

9/2

Modest form in bumpers but appeals as the type to do better over obstacles on pedigree. Finished seventh of 9 in Southwell novice (15.8f) on hurdles bow last month though and likely to need further.

Form: 0/2367-

Mr Biggs

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

Half-brother to modest 23f hurdle winner Bact To Black. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner up to 2¾m) Gunnerblong. Worth a look on debut.

Form:

Dee Eire^t⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer

16/1

Little form on 4 starts in bumpers. Trainer/jockey have been in good form of late, but others preferred as she made hurdles debut.

Form: 7/568-

Queenhill⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

16/1

Runner-up on debut in bumper at Worcester but has seemingly gone backwards since. Has something to prove on hurdling debut.

Form: 3259-

Well Done Dani²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

250/1

Pulled up in novice hurdle at Ludlow on debut and again showed little when finishing down the field back there last month. Best watched.

Forecasts

Kerosine Light (8/13), Larusso (9/2), Copper Fox (11/2), Waterloo Quay (6/1), Mr Biggs (12/1), Dee Eire (16/1), Queenhill (16/1), Kracquer (33/1), Well Done Dani (250/1), Call Me Jezza (250/1)

Donald McCain looks to hold a strong hand and KEROSINE LIGHT can get the trainer off to a good start in the opener. The 5-y-o shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Gowran last time and is open to improvement. He can make a winning yard debut, though stablemate Copper Fox is an interesting contender on his first start under Rules. Waterloo Quay is respected if taking up this engagement.
