Vickers.Bet Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:41 | Winning time: 4m 0.13s

Malinka^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| D

4/1

Fair Flat performer who made a winning debut over hurdles in smooth style after 11 weeks off for new yard at Cartmel in August, responding well. Disappointed under a penalty at Market Rasen the following month and finished well held back on the level at Catterick recently. Hood applied.

Form: 15

Mill Street¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| BF

5/2

Made frame on 3 of 4 starts in US Flat maidens and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when runner-up at Newton Abbot in June. Sent off a well-backed favourite but fell well short of expectations at Stratford (16.3f, good) the following month but worth chancing to get back on track.

Form: 25

On The Bubble^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

50/1

1m Flat winner at Redcar in May and made a successful start over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) the following month. Little encouragement to glean from 3 subsequent starts (previous 2 on the level last month) so the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 18

Sweet Soul Music²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison

100/1

Modest maiden on the Flat but lame when tailed-off last both starts at Newcastle this year. Offered little tried over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) recently so can only be watched.

Form: 4

Trafalgar Square^b,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 84

11/2

Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in juvenile at Market Rasen in June. Pretty disappointing in both codes since, however, first-time blinkers failing to have the desired effect at Newcastle (16.2f, good) a fortnight ago.

Form: 2554

Vinny's Dream³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: B Brookhouse

10/3

Fair form on Flat, running at least as well as previously when third in novice at Chelmsford (10f) 5 weeks ago, no extra final 100 yds. Worth a second look on hurdling debut for a yard adept with similar types in recent seasons.

Form:

Jailbird^t1¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: T Collier

28/1

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), cashing in on a reduced mark at Lingfield in July. Sold from Richard Bandey £11,000 last month and worth monitoring in the betting on hurdling debut. First-time tongue tie applied.

Form:

Masonbrook Meadow¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 87

4/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who hit the frame on first 4 starts over hurdles. However, she ran badly in a much deeper event than she'd previously contested at Wincanton (15.2f, good) last month but can get back on track returned to calmer waters.

Form: 3244P

Forecasts

Mill Street (5/2), Vinny's Dream (10/3), Masonbrook Meadow (4/1), Malinka (4/1), Trafalgar Square (11/2), Jailbird (28/1), On The Bubble (50/1), Sweet Soul Music (100/1)

MILL STREET fell well short of expectations at Stratford in July but having been freshened up since, Ben Pauling's charge is fancied to go one better than on hurdling debut at the expense of Vinny's Dream, who has run to a fair level on the Flat and represents a trainer adept with similar types in juvenile hurdles. Masonbrook Meadow can edge out Malinka for third.
