Brough Scott Backs Jamie's Farm Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:21 | Winning time: 4m 2.50s

Come To Pass¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Lily Pinchin| T: A W Carroll

18/1

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) who has been without a win this year. Fourth of 8 starting out over hurdles at Uttoxeter in November so no forlorn hope back in this sphere.

Form: 4

David's Well¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

1/2

Shaped with promise in his sole bumper and again when fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, soft) 16 days ago. Leading form claims.

Form: U3-495

Dreadpoetssociety²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: C Gordon

40/1

Little impact in 2 bumpers for Warren Greatrex in the first half of 2023 and in 2 runs over hurdles for his new stable.

Form: 7-0P5

Hidalgo Des Bordes²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

28/1

Runner-up in an Irish point back in May 2022 and hinted at promise when seventh in novice hurdle at Taunton (19f) 20 days ago. Can build on it.

Form: F5/2-07

Inigo¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

11/2

Fairly useful form in bumpers, winning in France. Off 20 months before never dangerous in maiden hurdles at Huntingdon and over C&D this winter. Sort to do better in handicaps in due course.

Form: 931/3-76

Just Aidan⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| D

50/1

Winner of sole outing in points and he showed some promise under a patient ride when sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15f) 9 days ago. Should improve in the longer term.

Form: 1-966

Oval Street^b¹⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 80

50/1

Multiple point winner but only modest form shown over hurdles/fences. Needs to take a big step forward after 6 months off back hurdling.

Form: 24-4354

Sir Maximus²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: Mrs L HillWS

33/1

Hooded, eighth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot (18/1) on NH debut 7 months ago. Since had a wind op and much respected on his hurdles debut.

Form: 8

Winter Reprise^h1⁵²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

7/2

Useful winner on Flat at around 1¼m for David Menuisier in 2022. Off 17 months ahead of his hurdling bow for new yard. Hooded for 1st time too. Very much one to consider despite his absence.

Form:

No Guarantee²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods

250/1

No show in a pair of bumpers and 3 runs over hurdles this winter. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 09P5P

Lucky Rover

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Phelan

150/1

Westerner filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Langley Hundred, stays 3¼m. Market can prove a good guide on her debut.

Form:

Royal Toast¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll

150/1

Fair form in pair of maidens on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. New connections acquired him for 10,000 gns but she made mistakes when only fourth of five in Leicester juvenile hurdle in November. Saddle slipped and pulled up at Hereford since. Lots more is required.

Form: 4P

Forecasts

David's Well (1/2), Winter Reprise (7/2), Inigo (11/2), Come To Pass (18/1), Hidalgo Des Bordes (28/1), Sir Maximus (33/1), Dreadpoetssociety (40/1), Oval Street (50/1), Just Aidan (50/1), Royal Toast (150/1), Lucky Rover (150/1), No Guarantee (250/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and DAVID'S WELL looks the way to go on the back of his promising recent Newbury fifth with the expectation of more to come from Chris Gordon's son of Getaway. Alan King's debutant Winter Reprise has a long absence to overcome but was a useful winner on the level so commands plenty of respect. Come To Pass appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
