RacingTV Club Day Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:05 | Winning time: 3m 48.59s

Alcaraz³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: Tom Dascombe

12/1

Useful at best on Flat (stays 10.5f) for Jean-Claude Rouget. Shaped with promise with back-to-back seconds for new yard and run best excused last time (ridden too aggressively). Interesting hurdle debutant.

Form:

Blue Sky Dreaming²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

25/1

Well-bred gelding stepped forward from his bumper debut when an encouraging fourth on hurdles bow at Stratford last month. Will stay further than this in time and remains open to improvement.

Form: 5-4

Bourding Pass^h,t²¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: Mrs E BishopWS

200/1

Passing Glance gelding. Dam (h95), maiden hurdler (stayed 19f), half-sister to fairly useful 3m chase winner Susie Sheep. Showed only a bit when fourth in an 8-runner bumper on debut at Hereford in April. Would need to take a step forward to make a winning hurdle debut following wind surgery.

Form: 4-

Cheesy Icon^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

33/1

Head-strong sort showed ability in bumpers and was considerately handled on second start over hurdles when fifth (11/1) in a 12-runner novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 9 days ago. Should improve at some stage and market should guide expectations.

Form: 439-45

Deferred Interest²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

300/1

Yet to show any ability in 3 runs on the Flat. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree but likely to be a longer-term project now sent hurdling.

Form:

Granpa Ger⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: B Clarke| OR: 105

17/2

Long-standing maiden who again ran well on first run since leaving Anthony Mullins when splitting 2 subsequent winners in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. That's strong form and he should be in the mix with a repeat.

Form: 0-20322

Hopjes¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin

250/1

Little promise on the Flat or in bumpers. Badly hampered and unseated early on hurdle debut last time but remains with plenty to prove.

Form: 74-U

Lake Tiberias⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

11/2

Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Ahorsewithnoname. Produced a promising first effort when third in an 8-runner bumper at Chepstow on debut last month. In good hands and likely to improve now sent hurdling.

Form: 3

Lord Cauvelliere¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| D

125/1

Point bumper winner landed a Stratford bumper on his Rules debut and was only narrowly denied under a penalty at Bangor in June. Nowhere near that level in two starts over hurdles and will be better off in handicaps.

Form: 1-1257

Pay Dirt^t1¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs N S EvansWS

300/1

Tailed-off last of 10 to Lord Cauvelliere in a bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good, 80/1) on debut in May. Makes hurdles debut with tongue strap on for first time and needs significant improvement following a breathing operation.

Form: 0

Run Away Joe²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| BF

66/1

Soldier of Fortune gelding who placed on both starts in Irish points. Sent off favourite but only hinted at ability when fourth of 5 in a bumper at Ascot (15.7f, good) on NH debut 23 days ago. Makes hurdle debut but likely to prove one for the future.

Form: 32-4

Snatch A Glance³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| CD

5/4

Progressive in bumpers, getting off the mark in a 4-runner bumper at this track last month. Finished third on hurdle debut over C&D 32 days ago (winner has since followed up) and is entitled to take a step forward with that run under his belt.

Form: 4-213

Super Freddie²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

7/4

Showed much more than on sole bumper start when runner-up behind an odds-on stablemate on hurdles bow at Bangor last month, ran on but no match for winner. Sure to improve for that experience.

Form: 9-2

Forecasts

Snatch A Glance (5/4), Super Freddie (7/4), Lake Tiberias (11/2), Granpa Ger (17/2), Alcaraz (12/1), Blue Sky Dreaming (25/1), Cheesy Icon (33/1), Run Away Joe (66/1), Lord Cauvelliere (125/1), Bourding Pass (200/1), Hopjes (250/1), Deferred Interest (300/1), Pay Dirt (300/1)

Progressive in bumpers, SNATCH A GLANCE finished third over C&D on hurdle debut and is fancied to improve. Super Freddie showed much more when second on his hurdles bow and looks a danger, along with interesting debutant in this sphere Lake Tiberias. Granpa Ger deserves an honourable mention, the form of his Uttoxeter second working out well.
