Debra Corner Birthday Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:26 | Winning time: 4m 17.0s

Belle Le Grand^t¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Skelton| OR: 114| BF| D

10/3

Irish bumper winner who bagged maiden hurdles at Warwick and Cartmel in May. Advanced her form under a double penalty when second of 5 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) following month. Holds solid claims.

Form: 413-112

Camlin Park^t⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 115

10/1

Vastly improved from her debut when easily winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 74 days ago. This Irish challenger rates a player.

Form: 71P4-01

Ninna Collina²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 101| D

11/2

Promising daughter of Jack Hobbs who got off the mark in 8-runner novice hurdle (5/1) at Hereford (16.2f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Can do better so must enter calculations.

Form: 3233-1

Uokhun^t¹⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 110| C

15/2

Scored twice around 3m in handicaps at Hexham and Southwell in the spring and posted a solid sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) in May. This drop back to 2m isn't certain to suit on her return though.

Form: 53171-6

Arctic Duchess²⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Coltherd

200/1

Showed some promise when a debut fifth in a Carlisle bumper but only eighth of 9 in similar company at Newcastle when last seen out 9 months ago. More is required now going over hurdles.

Form: 58-

Bay Empress²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Eloise Quayle| D

80/1

Made a winning start in Wetherby bumper for Micky Hammond in February but she came in last of 10 in similar event at Ayr for her new stable in April. Goes hurdling now with something to prove.

Form: 10-

Biglesisback⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

5/4

Walk In The Park filly who has shaped with promise on both her runs, set a lot to do when third of 7 in novice at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 43 days ago. Open to a fair bit of improvement and not without interest.

Form: 9-3

Gintime²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

8/1

Fairly useful form when runner-up in a Carlisle bumper on her debut last December but twice failed to back it up in similar company at Ayr and Sedgefield in the spring. Needs to take a step forward on her first go in this sphere.

Form: 244-

Lady Phoebe⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol

100/1

Modest 13f Flat winner. Pulled up at Musselburgh on her only previous hurdles run and also came in last of 14 on Flat at Newcastle 40 days ago.

Form: P-

Mad Mag⁶⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

40/1

£10,000 6-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. A winning Irish pointer so she needs considering now starting out over hurdles.

Form: 13/

Miss Bumblebee²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 84

40/1

Runner-up in a pair of Irish points this spring and has shown some promise both runs over hurdles, third of 6 in novice here (20.1f, good, 22/1) 27 days ago. Open to further progress.

Form: 22-33

Miss Friday Lions^h1²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies

66/1

In the frame in a couple of bumpers last winter but off since beating just one on her Flat debut at Redcar (10f) in April. Goes hurdling now with a hood added.

Form: 453-

Moira My Love²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan

300/1

Hinted at promise when a debut fifth in an Ayr bumper but beat just two in similar company there in April. Lots more needed now going over hurdles.

Form: 58-

Night Burlesque^t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne| T: Mrs M Rowley

80/1

Modest form shown in a trio of bumpers during first half of 2025 and again on her hurdling bow when (tongue tied) third of 5 in 2m Warwick novice 37 days ago. She may do better but needs to.

Form: 66-43

Forecasts

Biglesisback (5/4), Belle Le Grand (10/3), Ninna Collina (11/2), Uokhun (15/2), Gintime (8/1), Camlin Park (10/1), Mad Mag (40/1), Miss Bumblebee (40/1), Miss Friday Lions (66/1), Bay Empress (80/1), Night Burlesque (80/1), Lady Phoebe (100/1), Arctic Duchess (200/1), Moira My Love (300/1)

The market should prove informative here but the vote goes to Irish challenger CAMLIN PARK who ran out an easy winner of a Downpatrick novice last time and rates the pick on that form. Perth third Biglesisback appeals as a likely improver and could emerge as the chief danger ahead of Belle Le Grand, Ninna Collina and Uokhun.
