Dunes Bowling Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:16 | Winning time: 4m 2.50s

Athair Mor

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: J EwartWS

8/1

Brother to useful 11f-1¾m winner Glen Savage. Dam, ran twice on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 2½m) Percussionist. Decent-enough page and warrants a market check on hurdling debut.

Form:

Iorangi De L'isle²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 100

15/8

Won completed start in Irish points. Shaped with promise in a Catterick bumper and best effort to date when third in a novice at Kelso on recent return. Solid claims if he's in the same form.

Form: F1/33-83

Knight Of Magic^h,t1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: C Grant

200/1

Poor maiden on the Flat who is yet to show anything in a bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 0-P

Burglar's Dream^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby

10/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, below form last two starts. Up against it switched to hurdling.

Form:

Leader Wing²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: G Boanas| D

14/1

Left debut form behind as he got off the mark in 10-runner bumper at Sedgefield in May. First run since leaving Tom Weston when a low-key sixth at Sedgefield 22 days ago. Needs to step up on that.

Form: 5-16

Moonfleet Moment¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: D R Fox| T: A Nicol

125/1

Lightly raced and quite limited on the Flat, so not an obvious sort switched to hurdling.

Form:

Sayva²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| D

1/1

Proved a different proposition to debut when winning 11-runner bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good) back in June. Encouraging start to hurdling when third at Sedgefield 22 days ago and can improve enough to open his account.

Form: 813

Devon Skies¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

16/1

Well held in 2 bumpers in the spring and showed something to work on when fourth in a novice at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Could be more to come and she's not ruled out.

Form: 0-04

Forecasts

Sayva (1/1), Iorangi De L'isle (15/8), Athair Mor (8/1), Burglar's Dream (10/1), Clondaw Fame (10/1), Leader Wing (14/1), Devon Skies (16/1), Moonfleet Moment (125/1), Knight Of Magic (200/1)

Bumper winner SAYVA should have learned plenty from his hurdling debut and he's likely to improve enough to get the better of Iorangi de L'Isle, who sets the standard at this point. Devon Skies isn't without hope.
