Cazoo Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 18:02 | Winning time: 3m 53.45s

Mandocello²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 118| D

4/11

Fairly useful Flat performer who boasts a positive profile over hurdles, runner-up on belated return at Kempton in May and quickly going one place better in a Southwell maiden (15.8f) 4 weeks ago. Rates a lead player under a penalty.

Form: 4/21

Gertcha^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: D Bourne

100/1

Modest on Flat for John Flint, (stays 8.5f) and he offered little on yard/hurdles bow at Worcester (2m) early last month. Fell early on at Southwell subsequently and he's hard to warm to overall. Tongue tie refitted.

Form: 5F

Largy Reach^t1³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

8/1

Runner-up in bumper and shaped well despite the result when last of 4 in muddling event at Wetherby (2m) back in November. Never figured on back of wind op at Cartmel (17.2f) last month but too soon to be writing him off. Tongue tie on.

Form: 324-5

Lough Carra²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

16/1

Unpromising in Irish points but he did at least step up on his hurdling debut effort when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 18/1) 26 days ago. Needs to step up again on that to feature.

Form: F6FP-64

Nayway³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish

250/1

Nayef gelding who has failed to beat a rival in 2/bumpers/sole start on Flat.

Form: 0-9

Rocambolas^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

200/1

Showed little in a bumper/maiden hurdle for Evan Williams. Successful in points subsequently but he again offered little under Rules for new yard when pulled up at Cartmel 11 days ago.

Form: 0P1U-P

Turpin Gold²⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens

20/1

Fair form in bumpers but isn't bred for hurdling and he was ultimately well held in a C&D novice on hurdles bow when last seen in October, mistake 3 out and folding. This should reveal more on seasonal bow.

Form: 35/339-

Bagheera Ginge³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

7/2

£26,000 3-y-o, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Offered something to work on when running on for third in a C&D maiden on hurdles bow 33 days ago. In good hands and no reason why he won't build on that now.

Form: 3

Ten Ten Twenty²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys

50/1

Fair Flat winner for John Joseph Murphy but showed nothing in trio of starts over hurdles for present stable.

Form: 8-P5

Forecasts

Mandocello (4/11), Bagheera Ginge (7/2), Largy Reach (8/1), Lough Carra (16/1), Turpin Gold (20/1), Ten Ten Twenty (50/1), Gertcha (100/1), Rocambolas (200/1), Nayway (250/1)

MANDOCELLO missed the whole of last year but showed no ill effects when making his second start back a winning one at Southwell 4 weeks ago and he can defy a penalty and come out on top again. Largy Reach and Bagheera Ginge can give him most to think about.
