Abbott Risk Consulting Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:51 | Winning time: 4m 3.56s

Anamanda¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander

33/1

Fairly useful 3-time winner on the Flat in France for Nicolas Clement but was let down by her jumping when pulled up on Kelso hurdle debut in late November and fared no better at Newcastle.

Form: P0

Blue Clover^t³²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie QuinlanWS

50/1

Placed in bumpers and went backwards from his hurdling debut second when pulled up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) in May. Off since and has left Fergal O'Brien (since undergone a wind op).

Form: 32352-P

Dorcas Road^t1¹⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

50/1

Bumper run for Ian Williams wasn't devoid of promise but she jumped non too fluently on hurdles debut in November and a tongue tie now goes on.

Form: 7-7

Innatendue^t⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell| OR: 115

11/10

Dual-bumper winner in France but yet to win over hurdles. Not at her best in first-time cheekpieces when tenth in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown but still has to be considered a big player back in maiden company.

Form: 750-240

Lily Du Berlais^h,t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 116| BF| D

5/2

Fairly useful bumper performer. Yet to reproduce that form over hurdles, including well-held second when a short-priced favourite for a Catterick maiden on last month's reappearance. Really should be a factor at this level.

Form: 2243P-2

Raynbo¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 85

200/1

Little sign of ability.

Form: P800

Shakeyatailfeather³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 109

11/4

Maiden pointer who didn't achieve much in bumpers for Harriet Dickin and Tom Weston but built on the promise of her hurdling debut when second of 15 in a 2m Kempton novice a month ago. Open to further improvement for leading yard.

Form: 3404B2

Forecasts

Innatendue (11/10), Lily Du Berlais (5/2), Shakeyatailfeather (11/4), Anamanda (33/1), Dorcas Road (50/1), Blue Clover (50/1), Take A Hike (66/1), Raynbo (200/1)

SHAKEYATAILFEATHER hasn't yet achieved as much as Irish raiders Innatendue and Lily du Berlais but her profile is a positive one and not yet exposed for the excellent Dan Skelton yard, she looks the way to go.
