ABP Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:09 | Winning time: 5m 56.04s

A Definite Getaway^t1,p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105

9/1

Fair form when runner-up both completed starts last season but has run poorly in 2 handicaps for current yard. Needs to bounce back in a big way.

Form: 22/22P-7

Cooler Than Me²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: F Brennan

22/1

Ran to a fair level when runner-up in an Exeter bumper in March 2023. Went one better in a point the following month, though was brought on his latest start in that sphere (May 27). Makes hurdles debut for a new yard up in trip and the market may prove a good guide.

Form: 3321/PB

G A Henty²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 112

4/9

Fair hurdler got back on track when third of 13 in maiden hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft, 16/5) 22 days ago, staying on gradually. Leading claims back up in trip.

Form: 7U/2P5-3

Kenny's Park^t,p1⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn

18/1

£20,000 buy after finishing second in an Irish point in December but has finished tailed off in a pair of maiden hurdles.

Form: 285-

School Days Over^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113| C

3/1

Fair maiden hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when seeing off 6 rivals at Hereford (21f, good) in November. Mixed bag since, pulling up at Stratford on most recent outing, but reverts to hurdling in an ordinary race.

Form: 21364-P

Southfield Star²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Bradstock

150/1

Went with no encouragement on his belated debut at Warwick 22 days ago.

Form: 0

Call Her Clever^t⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys

25/1

Little promise in 2 bumpers for David Pipe but easily won his completed start in points in April. Needs a market check on hurdle debut.

Form: 46F1-

Tiger's Song³³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

40/1

Malinas mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful 2½m chase winner Alpancho, stayed 23f, and fair hurdler Tigeralley, stayed 3m. Dual winning pointer, pulled up again last time (May 19).

Form: 15/3-PPP

Forecasts

G A Henty (4/9), School Days Over (3/1), A Definite Getaway (9/1), Kenny's Park (18/1), Cooler Than Me (22/1), Call Her Clever (25/1), Tiger's Song (40/1), Southfield Star (150/1)

G A HENTY bounced back to form when third at Warwick last month and, with the step back up in trip likely to suit, he's the percentage call to get off the mark. School Days Over ran no sort of race on his most recent outing over fences, but still needs considering back over the smaller obstacles judged on the pick of his form, while recent point winner Call Her Clever and Cooler Than Me need keeping an eye on in the betting.
