Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow EBF Mares' National Hunt Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:20 | Winning time: 5m 5.08s

Cabra Lady^h⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: S McParlan| C

4/1

Placed in points and improved on debut form in a first-time hood when winning 14-runner bumper at Uttoxeter in July. Overcame inexperience when following up on hurdles debut here last month (2m) and on that evidence, this trip should be within range.

Form: 3P-2311

Scarlet O'Tara³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 108| D

6/5

Improved again when returning from 6 months off to win a 19.5f Bangor maiden in June. Matched that form when second under a penalty at Worcester and sure to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 24/73-12

Bishop Hill^h⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105

2/1

Fair hurdler who got fully back on track when second of 12 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to firm) in July. Yet to be asked for effort when falling 3 out last month switched to a handicap and she can make her presence felt.

Form: 22-332F

Golden Point²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

12/1

From a good family and hit the frame all 3 starts in bumpers. That form only modest but she looked a work-in-progress and this trip will suit now hurdling.

Form: 432-

Mobile Mamma¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

22/1

€7,500 3-y-o, £32,000 5-y-o, first foal, dam, lightly raced over hurdles, half-sister to useful bumper/21f hurdle winner Way Back Then. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt in April

Form: 7P1-

Forecasts

Scarlet O'Tara (6/5), Bishop Hill (2/1), Cabra Lady (4/1), Golden Point (12/1), Blow A Fortune (12/1), Mobile Mamma (22/1)

CABRA LADY supplemented her bumper win on hurdles debut here last month despite looking in need of the experience. With that in mind, she's taken to find the necessary improvement required to defy a penalty at the main expense of Scarlet O'Tara and Bishop Hill.
