BetWright Bangers N'Cash Fillies' Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:40 | Winning time: 4m 8.71s

Africa Charm³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| D

7/1

Modest 1m maiden on the level for Richard Hannon. Proved up to making a winning hurdle debut at Stratford 5 weeks ago but it was a weak race and more will be needed to defy a penalty.

Form: 1

Only One Blue^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley

15/8

Fair maiden on Flat for Richard Hannon and made a successful hurdle debut for new connections at Sedgefield (17f, good) last month, rallying to lead again towards the finish in first-time cheekpieces (retained).

Form: 1

Emily Rebecca^p1⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B J Llewellyn

33/1

Fair on Flat (stays 1½m) for Richard Hannon. Sold for 2,000 gns in October. The betting should guide now hurdling in first-time cheekpieces.

Form:

Ghost Dancing

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

4/1

First foal of a Flat/hurdle winner for this yard. Alan King is traditionally strong in juvenile hurdles so she has to enter the reckoning on debut, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Form:

Love Sonnet³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: Tim Vaughan

11/8

Progressive 2-time scorer on the Flat in Ireland and can win races over hurdles judged on last month's opening second at Ludlow. Looks sure to progress and the one to beat.

Form: 2

Praying For Time⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: C J Down

150/1

Regressive on the Flat for 3 different yards. A watching brief is advised now hurdling.

Form:

Forecasts

Love Sonnet (11/8), Only One Blue (15/8), Ghost Dancing (4/1), Africa Charm (7/1), Oasis Sunrise (20/1), Emily Rebecca (33/1), Praying For Time (150/1)

This looks a good chance for LOVE SONNET to build on her promising hurdle debut second at Ludlow, although Alan King newcomer Ghost Dancing would rate a danger if the betting speaks in her favour. Sedgefield winner Only One Blue may prove best of the rest.
