AW Blake Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:10 | Winning time: 4m 20.31s

Getaway Frankie¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 101

14/1

Pulled up in both hurdles for Nicky Richards but a totally different proposition for new yard when landing a 2m Hexham novice 15 days ago. More will be needed under a penalty.

Form: 934P-P1

Cross Of Redmoor⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan

100/1

Maiden Irish pointer, fell last time (May 9). Best watched on Rules debut unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form: F8P25-F

Green Bonnet³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

10/1

£20,000 point recruit who made a sound start to her hurdle career when second in 2m Kelso novice 35 days ago. May do better.

Form: 2-2

Jolie Coeur Allen^h³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 107

2/1

Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Willie Mullins and last month's C&D handicap debut fifth suggests she still retains a good portion of that ability. Leading form claims.

Form: 333/66-5

Out On Her Own⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer

11/4

Point winner who shaped quite well when fourth of 17 in Aintree bumper for John Dawson last month. Interesting hurdle debutante for new trainer Dianne Sayer.

Form: 31-4

Raincloud¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 76

40/1

Fully exposed now and remains vulnerable in any company.

Form: 8P35-72

Somebodycomegether²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi

66/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 2m) and beaten a long way in both hurdles this summer. Outsider.

Form: 64

Bittalemon^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt

11/4

Fair 1½m Flat winner for William Haggas. Better effort in novice hurdles here at the end of last month when fifth of 10 latterly. Won't need to step up too much on that form to play a prominent role here.

Form: 45

Miss Jm Reidy³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins

40/1

Shirocco filly who showed some promise when third of 4 in a Kelso bumper last month. Irish stable has had winners here. Respected hurdle newcomer.

Form: 3

Nika Pika^h⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly

9/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) but has struggled on AW at Dundalk in recent starts. Hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Jolie Coeur Allen (2/1), Bittalemon (11/4), Out On Her Own (11/4), Nika Pika (9/1), Green Bonnet (10/1), Getaway Frankie (14/1), First Ever (25/1), Raincloud (40/1), Miss Jm Reidy (40/1), Somebodycomegether (66/1), Cross Of Redmoor (100/1)

JOLIE COEUR ALLEN showed enough to think she retains a fair level of ability in a handicap here last time and is the form choice. Green Bonnet should have a say on the back of last month's Kelso hurdle debut second. Out On Her Own and Miss Jm Reidy achieved enough in their sole bumper starts to think they could make their presence felt in a race like this if taking to hurdling.
