Ludlow Brewing Company Fillies' Juvenile Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 3m 47.26s

Chevelle⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

6/1

Showed a fair level of ability on the Flat in France and has joined a shrewd outfit ahead of this hurdling debut, so very much one to respect if the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

Clear Storm⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke

14/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11f), successful at Nottingham in May, below form on stable debut last time. Others look more persuasive.

Form:

Holywell

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

11/1

Manatee filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler for the yard Balko Saint, stays 2½m. Stable has an excellent record in these events, so expect her to be well schooled. Definite player.

Form:

Little Venice¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: N P Mulholland

9/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 12f), opening her account at Beverley (9.9f) in June. Low-key hurdling debut (second start for this yard) at Plumpton last time and looks more of a long-term project in this sphere.

Form: 4

Masonbrook Meadow³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 82

8/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who has hit the frame on each of her three starts over hurdles. Will need to improve if she's to seriously compete, though.

Form: 324

Nasneen²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

80/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1m), below form last 2 starts. Something to prove switched to hurdling.

Form:

One Glance³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

6/1

Fair form on Flat (stays 1½m), well held on handicap debut last time. Represents a trainer who does well in juvenile hurdles, so no surprise if she takes to it.

Form:

Russian Ballerina^h⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies

250/1

Poor maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f), down the field in handicap last time. Sold from Charlie Johnston £2,500 later in July. Hard to recommend switched to hurdling.

Form:

Scottie's Sister³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 88

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft, 6/1) 30 days ago. Stable is going well and she has a significant edge in terms of experience, so should be involved.

Form: 7342

Sheila Tequila^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West

28/1

Hasn't offered much in varied events on the Flat but not long with this yard and made a positive start over hurdles when runner-up at Plumpton last month. Likely to be outclassed here, though.

Form: 2

Tricky To Attract

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/2

Ocovango filly. Dam (h119) 2m/17f hurdle winner, also 1½m winner on Flat. Interesting newcomer for a top outfit.

Form:

Window Of Time³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

14/1

Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Probably needed the experience when down the field at Newton Abbot on hurdling debut, so may do better.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Scottie's Sister (11/4), Tricky To Attract (11/2), One Glance (6/1), Chevelle (6/1), Masonbrook Meadow (8/1), Little Venice (9/1), Holywell (11/1), Window Of Time (14/1), Clear Storm (14/1), Sheila Tequila (28/1), Nasneen (80/1), Russian Ballerina (250/1)

HOLYWELL is a relative of a fairly useful hurdler for the stable, which does well in this sphere, particularly with newcomers, so she's fancied to get the better of Scottie's Sister, who has had plenty of experience relative to the others. Tricky To Attract also makes plenty of appeal on paper.
