Heckler & Koch - No Compromise Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Off time: 12:35 | Winning time: 5m 17.40s

Badentaggart³³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

200/1

Well held in 3 bumpers in 2024 and likely outsider now hurdling after 11 months off.

Form: 3/70-

Carlenrig³³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/2

Won sole start in points (Dec 2024). Joined a top yard for his Rules career and would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied.

Form: 1-

Gillespie^t³²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F NichollsWS

3/1

€100,000 Getaway gelding who won a heavy-ground Ffos Las bumper on debut last December. Another wind op on the back of that success is a little off-putting but his top yard is in good form.

Form: 1-

Kastellion¹⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley

28/1

£31,000 buy after runner-up sole start in Irish points in April. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form: 2-

Mr Griffiths¹⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

50/1

Modest form in a bumper and 2 hurdles last season. Likely he's more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 745-

My Own Lovely Lee²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White

15/2

Third sole start in Irish points in February. Another Rules newcomer to monitor closely in the market.

Form: 3-

Rocking Man⁵⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| BF| C

5/6

Useful in bumpers last season, including a course success on heavy. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Form: 122/

The Two Harrys³⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

12/1

Has had gaps between all his races. Stepped up on his 2 bumpers efforts when fourth in 2m Lingfield novice hurdle on sole start season but off for a further 11 months ahead of this return.

Form: 36/4-

Vol Royale¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott

80/1

Point winner who showed ability when fourth both bumper starts in February/March. Sent off at 18/1 when brought down first on Fontwell hurdles debut 13 days ago.

Form: 4/144-B

Dawn's Desire²⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford

250/1

No encouragement to glean from both outings in mares' maiden hurdles earlier this year.

Form: F0-

Forecasts

Rocking Man (5/6), Gillespie (3/1), Carlenrig (11/2), My Own Lovely Lee (15/2), The Two Harrys (12/1), Kastellion (28/1), Mr Griffiths (50/1), Vol Royale (80/1), Badentaggart (200/1), Dawn's Desire (250/1)

ROCKING MAN achieved enough in bumpers, including here, to think he should have a bright future over hurdles and gets the vote. Gillespie won his sole bumper and rates an obvious danger, while Dan Skelton point recruit Carlenrig would also need considering if the betting speaks in his favour.
