Ruabon EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

£10,000 6-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Wishfull Thinking. Beat a subsequent winner when making a successful start in 6-runner novice at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Sure to improve and big shout under a penalty.

£45,000 buy after finishing runner-up only outing in Irish points and has improved with each start under Rules, off the mark in novice at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago, making all. Respected under a penalty.

Free-going sort who showed plenty of ability in trio of bumpers last season and similar story in finishing runner-up all 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter, improving again at Newbury latest. Form pick.

Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Captain Cattistock and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner King's Threshold. Stable's latest debutant was a winner so worth a market check.

From a good family and made a pleasing start when runner-up in bumper at Southwell in March. Disappointing turned out quickly at Ffos Las next time but clearly has potential now jumping on return.

£52,000 buy who was runner-up on sole completed start in points. Showed promise on hurdles debut when third of 6 in novice at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in December and failed to build on that next time. Looks one for staying handicaps later on.
