Roy's Ices Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:59 | Winning time: 4m 56.30s

Peerless Beauty²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 108| D

5/4

Bumped into an unbeaten rival on hurdles debut and took advantage of facing lesser opposition when easily getting off mark at Worcester 24 days ago. Will take all the beating again.

Form: 22824-1

Betty's Banjo¹⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

7/2

Won sole start in Irish points but shaped as if in need of experience when well held in Leicester novice on debut in November. Entitled to do better.

Form: 17-

Craan Run¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph

25/1

Winning Irish pointer has shown very little under rules to date, pulled up in similar race on debut 3 months ago. Has since left Venetia Williams.

Form: P3/128P-

Last Of A Legend^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry

2/1

Shaped well when runner-up on bumper debut but hasn't really progressed since, only third of 4 at Worcester 18 days ago on second hurdles start. Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 205-3

Silver Coin⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ruth Jefferson

16/1

Down the field at Southwell on debut, so will need to leave that form well behind if she's to make an impact over this longer trip.

Form: 7-

Switch Partner⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ruth Jefferson

25/1

Showed plenty when runner-up in Market Rasen bumper on debut but has failed to beat a rival home on either start since. Fair bit to prove now making hurdles debut.

Form: 206-

Oseleta⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph

16/1

Shaped like a stayer in a bumper/mares novice, both over 2m. Step up in trip will suit so could have more impact in this weak event.

Form: 58-

Rokocoko Blue¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: C Brace| T: D Brace

150/1

Well held in Southwell bumper and last of 4 on hurdles bow at Ffos Las 13 days ago. Significant improvement needed on that evidence.

Form: 04

Forecasts

Peerless Beauty (5/4), Last Of A Legend (2/1), Betty's Banjo (7/2), Silver Coin (16/1), Oseleta (16/1), Craan Run (25/1), Switch Partner (25/1), Rokocoko Blue (150/1)

This should be a penalty kick for PEERLESS BEAUTY, whose level of form is in a different league to that of her rivals. Last of A Legend perhaps ranks as the biggest threat on her peak bumper form, whilst Betty's Banjo is likely better than she was able to show on debut.
