Beacon Detection /HHF Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:22 | Winning time: 3m 52.49s

Ami Des Flots²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

7/1

Point runner-up has shaped like a stayer when no better than mid-field in a pair of bumpers for Bernard Martin Crowley. Likely needs a step forward on hurdles/yard debut.

Form: 26-8

Ella Boon

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: D Faulkner

66/1

No appeal on pedigree and yard would not be associated with bumper winners.

Good Greef³⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: R Luke

33/1

Showed more temperament than ability in bumpers last year and can't be fancied on hurdles debut.

Form: U8/0-

Joyful Kit^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: T Lawes| OR: 98

6/5

Remains a maiden after 14 starts but ran up to produced another creditable effort when second again at Warwick last month. Holds sound claims in this company.

Form: 35P32-2

One Hundred Notout²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

50/1

Best effort in bumpers when third at Taunton in October. Probably needs to improve for the switch to hurdling but that remains a possibility in the hands of a top yard.

Form: 53-9

Pop The Champagne^t²¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| D

7/4

Bumper winner for Graeme McPherson and shaped well when sixth at Stratford on hurdling debut. Well held only start since, but likely capable of better for good yard.

Form: 154/269-

Tara Haze¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando

150/1

Nothing shown in a pair of bumpers and can't be fancied on hurdles debut.

Form: 00-

Lady Samson¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

13/2

Showed more than in her sole bumper run when second in a 4-runner novice on hurdles debut here (20f) last month. Shouldn't be inconvenienced by step down in trip and rates as a player for in-form yard.

Form: 8-2

Pro Annie⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans

200/1

Little show in pair of bumpers and needs to find significantly more to make an impact on hurdles bow.

Form: 80-

Forecasts

Joyful Kit (6/5), Pop The Champagne (7/4), Lady Samson (13/2), Ami Des Flots (7/1), Good Greef (33/1), One Hundred Notout (50/1), Ella Boon (66/1), Tara Haze (150/1), Pro Annie (200/1)

A tricky event, with LADY SAMSON taken to build on her promising hurdles debut here down in trip. Pop The Champagne is most interesting in opposition, likely better than she was able to show on yard debut last time, whilst Joyful Kit is well exposed by now but is easily good enough to play a part.
