John And Maureen Burns Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:40 | Winning time: 4m 1.3900000000000001s

Aviemore²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 113| D

9/4

A fairly useful winner at 10f on flat and he got off the mark at the second attempt in 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Open to further improvement so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 31

Lavender Hill Mob^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: James Owen| OR: 121| BF| D

10/11

Fairly useful Flat performer who has shown similar form in this sphere, scoring at Warwick in January before a solid third in juvenile hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on. Holds good form claims.

Form: 2413

Across Earth¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| BF

12/1

Fairly useful 14f flat winner for Marco Botti. Since changed hands for 70,000 gns so he's much respected on his yard/hurdling debut.

Form:

Crown Of India^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

18/1

A fairly useful maiden on the Flat but yet to reach that level in two juvenile hurdles, again failed to settle when fourth of 8 at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Could still do better.

Form: 74

Ramaah³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 88

250/1

Modest winner at 13f on Flat for Ismail Mohammed but still to match that form in 3 starts over hurdles, again finishing well held when fifth of 9 in maiden at Huntingdon 38 days ago.

Form: 445

Under The Sun²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore

7/1

Useful 10f performer on the Flat for Hugo Palmer and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when third in a 7-runner Plumpton maiden last month. Entitled to come on for that and needs considering.

Form: 3

Abbey Law¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: L Wadham

80/1

Modest form in a pair of 1m Kempton maiden in the autumn for Amy Murphy. More is required now going hurdling for her new handler.

Form:

Graecia^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon

16/1

Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat for John Butler. Changed hands for 18,000 gns and hinted at promise when a hard-pulling fourth of 11 on her hurdling bow in 2m Hereford juvenile last month. Can build on it.

Form: 4

Hello Sweety^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

150/1

Placed on Flat in Poland first 3 starts but little impact for his current yard, tongue tied when a well-held fifth in Market Rasen juvenile hurdle last time. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 85

Forecasts

Lavender Hill Mob (10/11), Aviemore (9/4), Under The Sun (7/1), Across Earth (12/1), Graecia (16/1), Crown Of India (18/1), Abbey Law (80/1), Hello Sweety (150/1), Ramaah (250/1)

James Owen's LAVENDER HILL MOB possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of the progressive Warwick scorer Aviemore. Under The Sun also has better days ahead of him and could also have a say.
