High Quality Homes At Golwg Gwendraeth 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

€30,000 3-y-o, Masterstroke gelding. Dam maiden on Flat in France. Won all 3 starts in points since leaving Ireland, latest in April 2023. Worth monitoring in market on Rules debut. Wears tongue strap.

No real impact in a couple of starts over hurdles and looks one for handicaps down the line.

Won bumper in France on debut in 2021 and acquired for lofty €210,000 thereafter. Finished nearer last than first on both starts for Christian Williams in 2022 and market should prove best guide to claims on return for new connections here.

Fetched £160,000 after finishing second in Irish point in May and showed ability in both starts in this sphere, latest when fifth in Ludlow novice (21.2f, heavy) last month. Likely contender.

Failed to beat a rival home in a couple of bumpers and can only be watched on hurdling bow.

€15,500 3-y-o, £62,000 5-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Took Irish point in 2022 and must enter calculations for local yard back among the winners.

Much improved when going down narrowly in maiden at this course (15.8f) in December. Not in same form at Warwick since but holds strong claims nonetheless.

Showed more than on hurdling debut when sixth of 18 in novice (9/1) at Newbury (16.3f, heavy) 43 days ago. Looks worth a crack at this longer trip and is not discounted.
