6 Horses Challenge At bet365 Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Down the field both starts in bumpers. Better signs over hurdles but probably won't be of real interest in this sphere until handicapping.

Disappointing on Wetherby handicap debut 15 days ago but had placed on all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles prior to that. Should be on the premises if back in that sort of form.

Placed in maiden hurdles in Ireland but not seen since well held on the Flat at the 2024 Galway Festival. Would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests new trainer Iain Jardine has him ready to roll after an absence.

Made frame on last of 3 starts in Irish points. Freddie Steady Go is likely the stable first string unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Third in an Irish point but sent off at 100/1 when last of 10 on Ayr bumper debut in March.

Fetched £55,000 after winning the second of his 2 starts in Irish maiden points. 7/1, offered something to work on when third of 12 in Uttoxeter novice on hurdle debut last month. Should improve.

Remote fourth in a Perth bumper in spring 2024 and never dangerous in Ayr novice hurdle 18 months later.

Flat-bred filly who won a course bumper last November. Also runner-up in another bumper here in March. Encouraging start to her hurdle career when fourth of 8 at Perth (2m, heavy) in October. Sure to progress.

In the frame in a couple of bumpers last winter but no real encouragement to glean from her 2 hurdle starts last month.
