Hadwins Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:40 | Winning time: 4m 16.11s

Prime Time Lady^e/s,h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 108

6/5

Headstrong sort who was placed on her first 3 starts in novice hurdles. In 1st-time eyeshields, again took strong hold but the race fell ideally for her when winning a maiden at Wetherby 28 days ago.

Form: 30223-1

Bowderek⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 80

22/1

Second in 2m Kelso novice hurdle in October 2020 but mixed bag has followed subsequently. Possibly needed the run after 12 months off at Carlisle last time. Others still preferred.

Form: 2P468/6-

Minute Waltz^b1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Niven

200/1

Made a discouraging start to her career when pulled up in a bumper/novice hurdle back in 2020/21. Only poor form on the Flat since, so 1st-time blinkers not enough to tempt tried hurdling again.

Form: PP/

Pasture Beach^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

33/1

Placed on second of 2 outings in bumpers but fairly low-key start in a couple of mares' novice hurdles and handicaps may be more her bag in due course.

Form: 935-5

Rose Of Siena²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

5/1

Placed first 2 starts in bumpers and wasn't unduly punished when fifth of 8 in maiden at Ayr (2m) on hurdles debut at the beginning of the month. Could do better with that experience behind her.

Form: 325-5

Saywhatyouwant¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 109

6/4

Fair maiden on the Flat. Took a step back in the right direction over hurdles when fifth of 18 in juvenile maiden at Naas (15.7f) in January. Can go well again on first start for new yard.

Form: 0305-

Forecasts

Prime Time Lady (6/5), Saywhatyouwant (6/4), Rose Of Siena (5/1), Bowderek (22/1), Pasture Beach (33/1), Minute Waltz (200/1)

SAYWHATYOUWANT looks an interesting recruit to the Donald McCain yard and she can make a winning start for her new trainer. Having ran to a fair level on the Flat, she matched that form at the second attempt over hurdles at Fairyhouse and got back on track last time. She remains with more to offer so can get the better of the headstrong Prime Time Lady, with Rose Of Siena the pick of the remainder.
