Britbet 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 4m 30.2s

Way Out¹¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: S Hosie| OR: 116

13/8

Irish point winner who opened his hurdles account from the front in a 2½m Fakenham maiden in May. Duly followed up with another sound front-running display in a Warwick handicap (21f, good to firm) later that month and, though absent since, he could be dangerous granted another soft lead.

Form: 6285-11

The Galahad Kid^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| C

2/1

Unbeaten in 2 bumpers last summer and off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, good). Left trailing by a progressive type upped to 19.6f at Bangor since, but should make his presence felt if responding well to the first-time tongue strap.

Form: 111-212

All The Glory^p²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 121| BF

85/40

Gained breakthrough in this sphere with first-time cheekpieces enlisted at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Followed up in a Market Rasen novice last month, but disappointing to see her turned over when bidding for the hat-trick in a 3-runner affair at Stratford on Saturday.

Form: P32-112

Six And Out¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: D Weston

18/1

Runner-up all 3 starts in bumper and jumped with greater fluency than on his hurdles debut when third in of 8 in a Stratford novice (18.7f, soft) recently. If able to build on that he should pick up a race before long, but he'll probably find this a shade too competitive.

Form: 2/2-203

Buck Of Maine¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: P & M Bowen

100/1

From a good French family and showed promise when third of 6 in a Plumpton bumper on debut. However, he has failed to build on that since, offering little in 2 starts since switched to hurdles.

Form: 34P4

Forecasts

Way Out (13/8), The Galahad Kid (2/1), All The Glory (85/40), Six And Out (18/1), Buck Of Maine (100/1)

Provided he's ready to roll following a break, WAY OUT may well complete the hat-trick. The 6-y-o raised his game when landing a Warwick handicap in decisive fashion on his latest start in May and, likely to be allowed to do his own thing out in front, he could take some pegging back round here. The Galahad Kid is likely to pose the biggest threat given that Six And Out needs to improve a chunk and, moreover, All The Glory isn't certain to go to post following her odds-on defeat on Saturday.
