EBF Mares' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:31 | Winning time: 5m 31.10s

Electoral Lady^t1⁵⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case

14/1

Westerner mare. Dam (b78), ran twice in bumpers, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (2¼m-19f winner) Cigliano. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 2021). Worth a market check.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

150/1

Achieved little in bumpers and seems unlikely to feature on this first hurdling outing back from 8 months off.

Form: 57-

Mistral Nell²⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: L Wadham

4/1

Modest bumper winner who should do better for a switch to hurdling, so no forlorn hope up in trip after 8 months off.

Form: 187-

Sinurita⁷⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: M Scudamore

9/1

Yeats mare. Dam fair 17f hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Third of 4 finishers sole start in Irish points (Oct 2020). Has a lengthy absence to overcome.

Form: 3/

Walk In The Stars²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

250/1

Looked limited for Christine Dunnett (remote fifth in a novice at Warwick on hurdling debut) and makes little appeal debuting for new stable after 7 months off.

Form: 765-

Iorens²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/6

Promising type. 10/3, second of 9 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Up in trip. Hard to beat.

Form: 1-2

Lets Go To Vegas²²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

9/1

€16,500 3-y-o, £52,000 4-y-o, Getaway filly. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Mar 27). Interesting Rules newcomer.

Form: F2-

My Portia^h¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan

200/1

Related to winners but not enough promise in a bumper 6 months ago to make her of any interest in this.

Form: 9

Not Staying Long¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: G Sheehan| T: P Neville

50/1

Soldier of Fortune filly. Closely related to fair hurdler/chaser Barden Bella. Unplaced both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 1). Hard to make a case for.

Form: F46-

Treefinch²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

9/2

Showed some promise in bumpers and minor encouragement when fourth in a novice at Worcester last time. Not discounted with the longer trip likely to suit.

Form: 64-324

Forecasts

Iorens (5/6), Mistral Nell (4/1), Treefinch (9/2), Lets Go To Vegas (9/1), Sinurita (9/1), Electoral Lady (14/1), Not Staying Long (50/1), Midnightinbresil (150/1), My Portia (200/1), Walk In The Stars (250/1)

Point-winner IORENS made a solid start when denied only by another good prospect at Carlisle 28 days ago and she's fully expected to go one better up in trip. Treefinch looks the solid alternative, although Lets Go To Vegas would merit consideration if the market spoke in her favour.
