bet365 Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:05 | Winning time: 4m 4.58s

Elforleather²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

9/1

Fair Flat winner for Jack Channon and made a sound start to his hurdles career for Alan King when second at Southwell 4 weeks ago. No surprise were he to build on that and he should be bang there again.

Form: 2

Filibustering¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

1/2

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f), again ran well when runner-up last time. Sold from Tim Easterby 68,000 gns later in October and he's a very interesting hurdling debutant for up-and-coming yard.

Form:

Maple^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 105

10/3

Has reached the frame on all 4 completed starts in juvenile hurdles for this yard, advancing his form for latest second at Catterick a month ago, just failing. Likely to give his running again.

Form: 24U22

Miners Gamble^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison

14/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) and fitted with a hood, he confirmed his stamina for hurdling when third of 8 at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 3

Platin Moon^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

25/1

Seemed to show fair form when third in a newcomers race at Clairefontaine on his only Flat start but too free to show a great deal both hurdles outings at Musselburgh, albeit he was pitched in deep last time.

Form: 65

The Three J's¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Coltherd

150/1

Well held both starts.

Form: 08

Forecasts

Filibustering (1/2), Maple (10/3), Elforleather (9/1), Miners Gamble (14/1), Platin Moon (25/1), The Three J's (150/1)

FILIBUSTERING certainly won't lack for stamina now hurdling and sure to be well prepared for this, he's selected to make a winning start for new connections. Elforleather, Miners Gamble and Maple have already displayed ability over obstacles and they can remain competitive.
