South Wales Medical Event Cover Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:35 | Winning time: 5m 29.49s

East Bridge¹¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood

50/1

Cost plenty but easy to back and well held in the Warwick mud on debut in bumper at the turn of the year. Step up in trip will suit now going hurdling. Chaser on looks.

Form: 9

Hill Of Tara²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

40/1

From a good jumping family but well held in bumper (in December 2021) and 2 races over hurdles.

Form: 5-64

James Jet²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: W Greatrex

11/1

Another staying chaser in the making who was successful from a couple of subsequent winners when landing an Irish point on debut in November (fetched £45,000 after) and shaped well enough on recent hurdles debut at Ascot. Longer trip here will suit.

Form: 14

Long Symphony^t⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: L HorsfallWS

18/1

Improved in a first-time tongue strap following almost 2 years off when winning bumper at Wetherby in February. Folded tamely on hurdles debut at Newcastle just 3 weeks later, however. Steps up markedly in trip after a breathing operation.

Form: 46/15

Norton Hill^b1,t¹²⁰

5/2

Bumper winner for Jack Barber who had been shaping up well over hurdles but took a crashing fall upped in trip at Fontwell (25.8f) on Boxing Day. Remains with potential if that hasn't left a mark. Has had a breathing operation and sterner headgear tried.

Form: 124-23F

St Patricks Bridge¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112

4/1

Showed much more than previously over hurdles when second in 9-runner novice at Taunton (19f, good to soft, 66/1) in December, clear of rest. This longer trip should suit on breeding and he's one to consider.

Form: 35-2062

Wideeyedandlegless³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 116

11/10

Comfortably won sole start in Irish points and has shown plenty in maidens/novice over hurdles. Has races in him.

Form: 1-543

Forecasts

Wideeyedandlegless (11/10), Norton Hill (5/2), St Patricks Bridge (4/1), Moodofthemoment (15/2), James Jet (11/1), Long Symphony (18/1), Hill Of Tara (40/1), East Bridge (50/1), Wonder Of The Seas (50/1)

ST PATRICKS BRIDGE ran well at Taunton in December and this longer trip should suit so he gets the vote over Wideeyedandlegless and Norton Hill.
