2025 Uttoxeter Annual Membership Now Available Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:55 | Winning time: 3m 56.6s

Alexandra Larose²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

7/1

Sister to bumper winner/useful 2¾m hurdle winner Shannon Royale. Minor promise on second of 2 starts in bumpers back in the spring and she appeals as the type to have a future in this sphere. One to note in the betting on debut for new yard.

Form: 44-

Crazierthandaisy²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

11/10

Out of a winning hurdler and confirmed debut promise when opening her account at second attempt in a Plumpton bumper (17.7f) in April, green once hitting the front and winning with a bit in hand. Merits serious consideration now hurdling on return.

Form: 31-

Eskimo Sam^h,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

80/1

Back Sam Bellamy mare who has looked in need of experience in bumper/novice hurdles in recent months. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Form: 98

Feet On The Ground¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

6/1

Westerner mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 23f chase winner Ballydesmond. Made frame last 2 starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (May 26). Newcomer to note representing good yard.

Form: P-42

Jackie Can¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

100/1

Showed some promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and again shaped with a bit of encouragement making hurdling debut after 5 months off at Chepstow.

Form: 277

Kelya Wood^h1²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

€26,000 3-y-o, Al Namix filly. Dam, ran twice over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser in France (2¼m-2¾m winner) Jojo Lapin. Every chance when fell last sole start in Irish points (Feb 2024). Hood fitted on hurdles debut and market can guide.

Form: F-

Natus Vincere¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

100/1

Decisive winner of her sole start between the flags in May and shaped better than bare result when fifth of 8 in mares' maiden on hurdles debut at Market Rasen (20.6f) 10 days ago. However, she did check out rather tamely on that occasion.

Form: 15

Taxus Baccata²¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| CD

7/2

Califet mare who was successful on last of 4 starts in points and excellent start under Rules when making all in a Uttoxeter bumper (15.8f) back in April, quickening clear from 3f out. Merits respect now hurdling on seasonal bow.

Form: 4P/F11-

What's One More³⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: Miss E C Lavelle| D

7/1

Mount Nelson filly who got back on track and displayed a good attitude to edge a tight finish in 12-runner Huntingdon bumper (15.8f) in January. Goes hurdling now with her yard in good form and market confidence behind her would need to be viewed positively.

Form: 371-

Wilmcote¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: O Murphy

150/1

Jack Hobbs filly. Showed ability amidst greenness in pair of bumpers at the start of the campaign but easy to back and not threatened either start in novice hurdles of late. Handicaps, including over further promise to be more her bag.

Form: 5589

Forecasts

Crazierthandaisy (11/10), Taxus Baccata (7/2), Feet On The Ground (6/1), What's One More (7/1), Alexandra Larose (7/1), Kelya Wood (16/1), Eskimo Sam (80/1), Natus Vincere (100/1), Jackie Can (100/1), Wilmcote (150/1)

CRAZIERTHANDAISY marked herself down as a good prospect when making her second start in bumpers a winning one at Plumpton back in the spring and she's fancied to make the perfect start now hurdling after 7 months off. Fellow bumper scorers Taxus Baccata and What's One More are others to consider. Rules debutante Feet On The Ground is one to note in the betting for clues.
