Grace & Dotty Country Clothing Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Confirmed debut promise when winning 6-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) in February and holds obvious claims on switch to hurdling.

€47,000 3-y-o, £30,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam fair hurdle/chase winner up to 21f. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt in March and warrants respect on NH debut.

Ran with credit in a couple of bumpers earlier this year and is worth a second look in the market on hurdles debut.

Stepped up on debut form when second of 12 in bumper at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) 171 days ago. Since joined Henry Oliver and market may prove best guide to claims on yard/hurdles debut.

Expensive purchase after comfortably winning sole start in Irish points last November but proved to be a disappointment on yard/NH debut in Kempton bumper in February. Still early days, though. Makes hurdles bow with tongue strap on for first time.

Showed plenty when placed all 3 bumper outings last season and appeals as the type to take well to hurdling.

Failed to progress from debut when fifth of 11 in bumper (8/1) at Wetherby (16f, soft) in March. In good hands, though, and can't be ruled out on hurdles bow.

Ran to a fair level when 16¾ lengths fourth of 7 in claimer at Dax on hurdling debut in July, in touch when blundering badly and nearly unseating rider 3 out. Since joined Harry Derham and looks a likely improver.

Fair maiden on the Flat who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton in February. Market check advised on first crack at hurdling.

Finished well beaten in novice hurdle at Stratford on NH debut in April and is best watched for now.
