Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Placed on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a fair level on his completed start over hurdles at Sedgefield last month, though was well positioned. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Winning Irish pointer with a good pedigree but was well held on his recent Ludlow hurdle debut. Most likely one for later.

Made it 2 wins from 3 starts in bumpers at Chepstow (2m) in April and is bred to make a useful jumper. Plenty to like.

£32,000 5-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Meath All Star. Won final 2 starts in Irish points (latest May 14). Has joined a good yard ahead of Rules debut but Brian Hughes seemingly prefers Ester Junction.

Confirmed previous promise when winning 8-runner bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 60 days ago, keeping on gamely. Not bred for jumping but his attitude will stand him in good stead.

Has a mixed pedigree and made a low-key start to his career in a Ludlow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in May.

Showed fair form when placed on the first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers. Makes hurdles debut.

Too free when well held sole outing in bumpers but showed more switched to hurdling when third in 8-runner maiden at Warwick (1m) in May, albeit well positioned in a steadily-run race.

Point winner who left his previous Rules efforts behind sent hurdling in a first-time tongue strap (also had breathing op) when third in 6-runner novice at Worcester (2m) last month. Open to improvement in this sphere.
