Go Racing In Yorkshire Season Ticket Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Point/bumper winner who struck at the first time of asking over hurdles in 2m Lingfield novice in November. No disgrace in being unable to live with the smart Mydaddypaddy at Haydock next time and a bold show looks assured here.

Fair form shown when placed in bumpers in the autumn and benefited from the step up in trip when making a successful hurdle debut over C&D (good) last month. Will improve.

Runner-up twice in bumpers in Ireland. Filled the same position on hurdle/stable debut at Ascot in November and didn't need to reproduce that form to go one better over 2½m at Musselburgh last month. More will be needed under a penalty but further progress can't be discounted given who trains him.

Smart stayer on Flat for Andrew Balding. 2/1, showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 11 in 2m Wetherby novice over Christmas. Likely to improve, particularly now stepping up in trip.

Modest Flat winner here. Showed an aptitude for hurdling in 2 outings last month but unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.

Sent off at 100/1 and looked more of a long-term project on his Bangor debut at the end of November.

Shaped like a stayer in 2 bumpers in Ireland and well held on 2m Taunton hurdle debut for new yard 13 days ago. The longer trip now may help but can still only watch.

Has showed a bit in bumpers and a C&D novice hurdle this winter but looks more one for handicaps down the line.

Has shown ability in 2 bumpers/hurdles. Fitted with a first-time hood now stepping up in trip. Improvement will be needed to get heavily involved.

Fair bumper winner but well beaten on 2m course hurdle debut on New Year's Day. Hard to fancy after that.

Modest maiden on the Flat for Rae Guest. Sent off at 125/1 when remote fifth on C&D hurdle debut on New Year's Day.

Only modest form when third in a couple of bumpers last spring and failed to beat a rival in maiden/novice hurdles at Sedgefield last month.

Third sole start in Irish points (Apr 2024) but well held in a Wetherby bumper and maiden hurdle last month. A first-time tongue tie needs to transform her.
