Bet Goodwin Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:45 | Winning time: 3m 47.34s

Indelible Spin⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon

40/1

Half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler Indefatigable and bumper winner Litigate. Stepped up on opening exploits in bumpers when third at Warwick (2m) in September and she goes hurdling now with yard amongst the winners. Market should guide.

Form: 93-3

Martha Willow²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: C Gordon| OR: 101| D

7/2

Dual bumper winner who showed some promise initially over hurdles last season prior to a pair of non-completions in handicaps. Still, it remains early days and she returns for new yard who have made very bright start to the campaign.

Form: 1033PP-

Mullenbeg²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: M F Harris| OR: 108| BF| D

4/6

Placed in points and excellent start under Rules, landing first 2 starts in bumpers including at listed level. Failed to justify short odds both starts over hurdles in recent months but she's a lead player here nevertheless.

Form: 1142-32

Spitfire Girl³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

11/1

Showed some promise when runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts in bumpers but looked in need of the experience when sixth of 7 on return/hurdles debut at Warwick (2m) in September.

Form: 2/202-6

The Last Tango²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M Goldstein| T: J J Bridger

200/1

Has yet to beat a rival in trio of starts on Flat and hard to make any sort of case for now sent hurdling.

Form:

Hedychium²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

80/1

Modest form in bumpers and likely a longer-term project in this sphere judged on her seventh of 9 in a mares' maiden at Warwick (2m) 25 days ago.

Form: 947-47

Mistral Lady²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

14/1

Half-sister to fair hurdler Peggies Venture and offered minor promise in a couple of starts in bumpers. In good hands and she should have a future in this sphere.

Form: 46-

Shelikesthelights¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

6/1

Kayf Tara filly who makes plenty of appeal on paper and she impressed when readily taking 6-runner Fontwell bumper (17.7f) on debut back in May. Exciting hurdles recruit.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Mullenbeg (4/6), Martha Willow (7/2), Shelikesthelights (6/1), Spitfire Girl (11/1), Mistral Lady (14/1), Indelible Spin (40/1), Hedychium (80/1), The Last Tango (200/1)

SHELIKESTHELIGHTS makes plenty of appeal on paper and impressed when making her first start in bumpers a winning one at Fontwell back in the spring. Just the type to make her mark over hurdles, she could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Mullenbeg again failed to land cramped odds recently but is a big player nevertheless, whilst Martha Willow could get back on track for her new yard.
