Horslyx Balanced Nutritional Support Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 4m 24.63s

Bois Guillbert⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 119| D

5/2

Has looked a jumper with a bright future as he's won both his starts in similar races, defying a penalty with something in hand at Wetherby 10 weeks ago. More to come.

Form: 611

Tintintin³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| D

9/4

Left clear when making winning hurdles debut at Ffos Las in October but improved in defeat twice since, chasing home promising winner conceding 14 lb to her at Market Rasen last month. Conditional takes off 5 lb here and solid claims.

Form: 122

Clovis Boy^t⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 92

25/1

Tongue tied and just minor promise both starts over hurdles, shaping like a stayer. Bois Guillbert much stronger here for yard.

Form: 34

Eagle Of The Glen⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 93

13/2

Has shown a bit in junior bumper/similar races over hurdles, no match for Bois Guillbert at Wetherby 68 days ago. Hard to fancy here.

Form: 433

Greenhill Gardens³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

22/1

Better effort on second start in bumpers at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. Bred to be a stayer and likely to need more time now jumping.

Form: 73

Jersay Du Trottet²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 110

16/1

Went without the tongue strap worn in France and was some way below the form he'd seemed to show on hurdling debut at Pau 3 months earlier starting out for this yard at Newcastle last month. Might be one for handicaps.

Form: 033

Joker Du Chenet¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: S R B Crawford

17/2

Some appeal on paper but was in the process of running to only a modest level when departing 3 out (held at the time) on recent hurdles debut at Wetherby.

Form: F

Petite Souris^t1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

12/1

Shaped better than first time up over hurdles after a wind op at Market Rasen last month but again didn't see her race out as expected. Tongue tie might help now.

Form: 564

Prontoanita¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: I Jardine| BF

9/1

From a good family and made a promising start in junior bumpers in November. One to note now hurdling.

Form: 24

Forecasts

Tintintin (9/4), Bois Guillbert (5/2), Eagle Of The Glen (13/2), Joker Du Chenet (17/2), Prontoanita (9/1), Petite Souris (12/1), Jersay Du Trottet (16/1), Greenhill Gardens (22/1), Clovis Boy (25/1), Boyneside (100/1)

BOIS GUILLBERT looks a jumper to follow for the Grand National-winning yard and can defy a double penalty to remain unbeaten over hurdles. Tintintin is the clear danger, with Prontoanita one to note on her hurdles debut after a couple of encouraging efforts in bumpers.
