Download The At The Races App Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

€13,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and given a considerate introduction to hurdling at Worcester in October. Well beaten in the face of a stiff task at Cheltenham the following month.

Order of St George gelding. Well held only start in points and shaped like a stayer when third in 6-runner bumper at Fontwell on Rules debut last month, plugging on. Longer trip an obvious plus on this switch to hurdling but needs plenty of improvement all the same.

Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but has made no impact in bumper/maiden hurdles (tongue tied last time).

Point winner who fetched plenty both times he's gone through the ring (£200,000 latest) and shaped with plenty of promise when third in 2m4f maiden hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, travelling well for a long way. Sure to improve and fancied to take all the beating.

Fair form in bumpers/maiden hurdles, running to a similar level as on hurdling debut when fourth in 10-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (23f, heavy) last month.

£35,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third time of asking and showed more than first time up over hurdles upped in trip when second in 12-runner novice at this course (19.5f) last month. The still longer trip promises to suit and probably hasn't shown all he can.

Fitter for a run and showed more than first time up over hurdles upped markedly in trip when splitting a fairly useful pair at Southwell (3m) at the beginning of the month. May do better still.
