Gents Day On Sunday 8th October Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Liverpool Knight¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 118| CD

6/4

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and a dual winner over hurdles in July. Sound effort pitched into a handicap and he sets the clear standard back in a novice.

Form: 35-114

Aaddeey^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Watson

8/13

Useful on Flat (stays 2m) finishing runner-up in listed company at Sandown in July. Bit disappointing at Deavuille latest but he's a very classy recruit to hurdling.

Form:

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J DaviesWS

200/1

Modest maiden nowadays on Flat, ran poorly last 2 starts: sold from Henry Spiller 1,000 gns in April, and had breathing operation ahead of hurdles bow.

Form:

Kingson¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Forbes

150/1

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Leostar (21f winner, by Nathaniel), stayed 3m. Modest handicapper on Flat, stays 11.5f, well held on stable debut last time. Hurdles debut.

Form:

Rock D'ete^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Johns| T: S Allwood

150/1

Off mark in points at third attempt (May 7) but sent off a big price and little promise on July's hurdles bow.

Form: 3P/10

Footloose Man^h1³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: R Hobson

12/1

Related to several winners and hit the frame in 3 bumpers this year. Hood on for this hurdles debut.

Form: 234

Hopeforthebest⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

33/1

Forecasts

Aaddeey (8/13), Liverpool Knight (6/4), Footloose Man (12/1), Petit Bijou (20/1), Hopeforthebest (33/1), Tara Vango (100/1), Rock D'ete (150/1), Kingson (150/1), Book Of Verse (200/1)

AADDEEY is a very high-quality recruit to hurdling from the Flat and the 12 lb he receives from Liverpool Knight really should be decisive if he takes to this discipline.
