Our Charity Of The Year Lives Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:51 | Winning time: 5m 8.7s

Beau Della^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

6/1

Fair form in bumpers. 8/1 and hooded for 1st time when a promising second of 10 in novice at Bangor (19.6f, good) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Can build on it now.

Form: 4-222

Dear Dot¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: C Grant

125/1

150/1, better effort over hurdles when fifth of 9 in novice at Hexham (20.1f, good) 14 days ago. Needs another step forward though.

Form: 705

Gentle Life³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

2/1

Made a promising return from 25 months off when second of 12 in novice hurdle here (18.6f, good) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. That form has been franked and she holds leading claims.

Form: 3/2

Hamartia^t,p⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 101

2/1

Placed twice in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Colm Murphy and has acquitted herself well for her current yard, cheekpieces on when second in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) 41 days ago. Not taken lightly reverted to hurdles.

Form: 5P34-22

Lucille Diamond¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring| T: Tracey Leeson

250/1

Yet to offer much in her three runs, coming in a remote fifth of 9 in novice at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft, 200/1) on hurdles bow 19 days ago.

Form: 9-95

O'Grady's Hill²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| BF

4/1

Successful in a point in Aprild and posted an encouraging second of 7 in bumper (13/8) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Much respected on her hurdles debut.

Form: 4PP1-2

Queens Venture¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/1

40/1, ran on late when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) on her hurdles bow 11 days ago. Can take a step forward over this longer distance.

Form: 34-74

Non-Runners

Masked Artist⁴³

Weight: 11-2| Age: 7

Forecasts

Gentle Life (2/1), Hamartia (2/1), O'Grady's Hill (4/1), Beau Della (6/1), Queens Venture (10/1), Masked Artist (66/1), Dear Dot (125/1), Lucille Diamond (250/1)

Fergal O'Brien's GENTLE LIFE shaped well after a long absence when runner-up on her hurdling bow here and can build on it and go one better now. Hamartia also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of Bangor-second Beau Della and hurdling-newcomer O'Grady's Hill.
