John Elliot 75 Today Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:02 | Winning time: 3m 41.80s

Chumlee^h1⁶⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster

33/1

Placed completed start in Irish points, pulled up latest (Oct 2020). Can only be watched making hurdles debut after long absence.

Form: PC3P/

Crecerelle²⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: S Wilson| OR: 91

25/1

Poor maiden jumper out of sorts when last seen at the end of 2021. Little appeal back over hurdles for another new trainer.

Form: 54/009P-

Shuil Donn^h⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland

17/2

Went backwards in bumpers and achieved little on hurdles debut at Huntingdon in June after 5 months off.

Form: 2/940-5

Star Vantage^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

14/1

Runner-up on his first and final outings in bumpers and shaped better than the bare result sent hurdling at Cartmel 4 weeks ago, not recovering from a bad mistake 2 out. Should improve.

Form: 29-25

The Wounded Knee^t1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs A Duffield

5/1

£31,000 buy after finished placed on both completed starts in points. Not unbacked and showed a bit on hurdles debut over C&D last month. Tongue tie goes on now and he might benefit from further. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: PP33-3

Willy Nilly^t³⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 100

25/1

Modest over hurdles and struggling for form on the Flat when last seen, so doesn't make much appeal on debut for new stable.

Form: 03/5366-

Propagation⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer

50/1

Long-standing maiden on the level, held again at Ayr last week. Doubtful stayer over hurdles, not getting the chance to answer the stamina question at Cartmel last month (held when unseated rider last). Hard to fancy.

Form: U

Simple Star³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

9/4

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11f) who made a promising start in this sphere when second over C&D 5 weeks ago, headed late on. Can do better and clearly up to winning something like this.

Form: 2

Dame Prestige¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: G Elliott

9/2

Showed much more than in a couple of bumpers sent hurdling after 3 months off here (20.2f) recently, seeing things out well. Looks a stayer but clearly has races in her and is a key player.

Form: 05-3

Rocco Molly⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: G Bewley

125/1

Well held in Hexham bumper on debut 8 weeks ago and work to do now sent hurdling.

Form: 0

Say You Say Me¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| BF

16/5

Beaten favourite both starts in bumpers this summer but she's shown plenty of promise and a slowly-run race over C&D last time was never going to show her in the best light. Could leave that form behind now hurdling.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Simple Star (9/4), Say You Say Me (16/5), Dame Prestige (9/2), The Wounded Knee (5/1), Shuil Donn (17/2), Star Vantage (14/1), Crecerelle (25/1), Willy Nilly (25/1), Chumlee (33/1), Propagation (50/1), Rocco Molly (125/1)

A thin maiden that Gordon Elliott could dominate, with SAY YOU SAY ME preferred to Dame Prestige before market clues. She wasn't seen to best advantage in a slowly-run bumper over C&D last time and could leave her form behind now hurdling. Simple Star made a promising start over hurdles here last month and should improve.
