Lee Bradbury Commemorative Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:56 | Winning time: 4m 28.30s

Chasing Fire²³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

2/7

£170,000 buy after a point win and looked a good prospect when landing a Wetherby bumper in March, travelling strongly and no more than pushed out to make sure. Likely to be hard to beat on hurdle debut.

Form: 11-

Dandy Maestro²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: R Spencer

18/1

Fairly useful 1m Flat winner for this yard but does stay 1¼m. Capable of playing a part if taking to hurdling at the first time of asking.

Form:

Diamant Sur Canape¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

250/1

Well held in bumper/2 novice hurdles in the the spring.

Form: 9-9P

Embolden¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

125/1

Fair Flat winner at best but has struggled this year and the chances are he'll be up against it again now hurdling.

Form:

Fenno's Soldier¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford

250/1

Beaten a long way in 2 novice hurdles this autumn.

Form: 06

Get Going³⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd| T: M Walford

125/1

Has hinted at ability but looks more one for handicaps down the line. One of 3 runners from his stable.

Form: 64P-

Highland Getaway

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

14/1

Half-brother to bumper/23f hurdle winner Sheila Nash. Dam unraced from a good family. Betting should help guide to expectations on debut.

Form:

Kaylen's Mischief³⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys

100/1

Modest Flat winner. 40/1, pulled up on Bangor hurdle debut in January. Off since. Likely best watched.

Form: P-

Lopes Dancer⁸⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: H Bethell

100/1

Fairly useful on the Flat (stays 1¾m), including 2 AW wins this year. However, he was only sixth on sole hurdle start way back in 2018. Hard to know what to expect.

Form: 6/

Sassified³⁸⁶

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

10/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11f) in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh. Bought for 40,000 gns in October 2021. It's taken a bit of time for his new stable to get him to the track but he would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form:

Summer Moon¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland

4/1

Smart handicapper on the Flat for Mark Johnston earlier in his career but has achieved barely modest form in 2 hurdle starts for new yard since returning from a long absence. Possibly more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 35

Forecasts

Chasing Fire (2/7), Summer Moon (4/1), Sassified (10/1), Highland Getaway (14/1), Dandy Maestro (18/1), Kaylen's Mischief (100/1), Lopes Dancer (100/1), Embolden (125/1), Get Going (125/1), Diamant Sur Canape (250/1), Fenno's Soldier (250/1)

CHASING FIRE created a very good impression when landing a Wetherby bumper in March and will likely take a bit of stopping on this hurdle debut. It's taken a bit of time for Sassified to make it back to the track for his hurdle debut but he showed fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and could be the one to give the selection most to do, particularly if there's strength behind him in the betting. Dandy Maestro is another who switches to hurdles after reaching a decent level on the Flat.
