Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:33 | Winning time: 5m 20.44s

Giovinco¹¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

8/15

Off the mark at third attempt between the flags in November and he's appealing starting out under Rules here with his yard in terrific form. Interest levels will heighten if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 5F-1

Toombridge^t1³²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan

11/2

Held every chance when falling at the last on his latest start in maiden points last spring, and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form: P2F-

Our Zebo

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R T Dunne| T: N C Kelly

10/3

€15,000 3-y-o, Mastercraftsman gelding. Dam 11f winner. As a 4-y-o, he receives weight from all 5 of his rivals and the betting should be revealing in terms of expectations.

Form:

Non-Runners

Glen Cannel³⁵

Forecasts

Giovinco (8/15), Choosethenews (7/4), Glen Cannel (2/1), Our Zebo (10/3), Toombridge (11/2), Elmley Lovett (20/1)

CHOOSETHENEWS was disappointing at Wetherby but it's far too soon to forget the promise he showed when seeing off a couple of previous hurdles winners on debut in this sphere here in December. Mark Walford's representative earns the vote ahead of Glen Cannel and point winner Giovinco.
