Guinness Draught Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:42 | Winning time: 4m 28.28s

Chapel Green²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107

8/1

Won at Kelso (2m) in November but he came in last of four in handicap hurdle over C&D 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 47-2104

Dare To Shout²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 126

2/5

Winning pointer who built on hurdling debut promise when quickening clear from a previous winner at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Open to further improvement and well up to defying a penalty.

Form: 4P-121

Sleeping Satellite⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

3/1

Winning pointer/bumper who also opened his account in this sphere in 2m1f Carlisle novice last month. Highly likely to progress further so he's firmly in the picture.

Form: 1-161

Barley Breeze²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P A Kirby

80/1

Modest in bumpers and has gone with little promise since sent hurdling, having wind op before pulled up over 2m4f here three weeks ago.

Form: 645-6PP

Forecasts

Dare To Shout (2/5), Sleeping Satellite (3/1), Chapel Green (8/1), Barley Breeze (80/1)

DARE TO SHOUT looked a good prospect when going in at Kelso last time and is hard to side against here. Donald McCain's Carlisle scorer Sleeping Satellite also has better days ahead of him and is fancied to chase home Ann Hamilton's winning pointer ahead of Chapel Green.
