Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 4m 5.7s

Kelsey Park¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

25/1

Pulled up in sole point and more one for the longer term under Rules judged on his 19f course hurdle debut 16 days ago.

Form: P-0

King Of Brazil⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price

5/4

Modest form in 2 bumpers nearly 2 years apart but offered a lot more when third of 15 on 2m Ffos Las hurdle debut in January. May do better, but chance we won't see the very best of him until he goes over further.

Form: 5/43

Roccovango⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

7/4

Placed in 2 bumpers in Ireland. Sound start to hurdle career for new yard when third at Haydock (2m) in December but faded into a remote fifth over 20.5f at Southwell since. Will need to get back to the Haydock form to play a prominent role.

Form: 32-035

Rollo's Kingdom¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

12/1

Showed a bit on the first of 2 bumper runs but more one for handicaps judged on his 2 hurdle outings this year.

Form: 6665

Aviewofthestars⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis

200/1

Last of 5 in a point bumper in January. Can only be watched now switching to hurdles.

Form: 5

Emily's Star⁴⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton

20/1

Quite a good pedigree but no more than hinted at ability in an Ascot bumper on her debut in November. One of 3 from her top stable, with Great Samourai presumably the first string

Form: 9-

Gaye Legacy⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

9/1

Shaped well when runner-up only start in bumpers. Better effort in 2m hurdles since when fourth at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago but probably won't really come into her own until tackling longer trips.

Form: 264

Dancila³⁵

Great Samourai⁷²

Forecasts

Dancila (1/1), King Of Brazil (5/4), Roccovango (7/4), Great Samourai (8/1), Gaye Legacy (9/1), Rollo's Kingdom (12/1), Emily's Star (20/1), Kelsey Park (25/1), Aviewofthestars (200/1)

DANCILA won a decent race on his hurdle debut and should be very hard to beat unless the betting suggests that a lot better is expected from Dan Skelton's Great Samourai after wind surgery. Ffos Las third King of Brazil may prove best of the rest.
