Hazelton Mountford Insurance Brokers Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:07 | Winning time: 4m 1.20s

Givemefive⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

2/1

Fair Flat winner in Ireland who made a successful start over hurdles for Harry Derham in Market Rasen juvenile (heavy) last month. Should be more to come and a penalty is unlikely to prevent a bold bid.

Form: 1

Baltic Voyage^t1¹²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

11/1

Fairly useful Flat winner for Ralph Beckett. Has a tongue tie added now hurdling. Should be up to making his presence felt if taking to this new discipline.

Form:

Camarrate¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

9/1

Fairly useful AW Flat winner for Grant Tuer. Interesting recruit to hurdles for the Donald McCain team.

Form:

Ceilidh King^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Jack Jones

300/1

In good hands but just a poor maiden on the Flat so hardly strikes as an obvious one to make a successful start over hurdles.

Form:

Chester Tonik¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Alexandra Dunn

200/1

Fair Flat winner for Peter Chapple-Hyam. One of 2 hurdle newcomers in this for the stable. Probably best watched.

Form:

Demilion¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 12.5f) for Charlie Johnston but recent efforts have been disappointing. Remains to be seen whether a change of yard and switch to hurdles sparks a revival.

Form:

Jumeirah King^t1¹³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: A J Honeyball

5/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Kevin Ryan. Stablemate of Baltic Voyage and like that one he's equipped with a first-time tongue tie for this hurdle debut. The betting should guide.

Form:

Orchestra²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| BF

5/4

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Ed Dunlop. Joined a good stable for his hurdle career and made a promising start when second at Taunton 23 days ago. Can go one better now with improvement on the cards.

Form: 2

Royal Deeside³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: A King

14/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Well beaten on C&D hurdle debut but offered more when 15 lengths second at Newbury 6 weeks later. Will need to step up on that form if he's to come out on top here, though.

Form: 62

Sir Cilia⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Crawley

400/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Likely outsider on hurdle debut.

Form:

Snow Forecast²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

500/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Jonathan Portman. A watching brief is advised on this first attempt over hurdles.

Form:

Non-Runners

Djerbanni²²⁰

Weight: 11-0| Age: 4

T: Ian Williams J: C J Todd

Forecasts

Orchestra (5/4), Givemefive (2/1), Jumeirah King (5/1), Camarrate (9/1), Baltic Voyage (11/1), Djerbanni (12/1), Royal Deeside (14/1), Demilion (150/1), Chester Tonik (200/1), Ceilidh King (300/1), Sir Cilia (400/1), Snow Forecast (500/1)

There was a lot to like about ORCHESTRA's hurdle debut second and, in receipt of 7 lb, he can prove just too strong for Market Rasen winner Givemefive. The betting will be interesting regards to hurdle newcomers such as Camarrate, Baltic Voyage and Djerbanni.
