Pertemps Network Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:59 | Winning time: 3m 59.88s

Bobajob⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J HendersonWS

28/1

Promising second in Newbury bumper on debut but possibly amiss in the second and again went out like a light sent hurdling after 9 months off here in December. Has had a breathing operation subsequently.

Form: 20-P

Different Drum¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: L Allan| D

300/1

Modest on Flat (stays 17f), down the field last 3 starts. Makes very little appeal on hurdling debut.

Form:

Dino Moon¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams

300/1

Related to winners but was edgy in the preliminaries prior to finishing last in a 6-runner Ascot bumper in November and fared no better tried hurdling at Taunton 7 weeks later.

Form: 67

Double Measure⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| D

2/5

€105,000 purchase who looked a good prospect when winning a Uttoxeter bumper in March. Plenty of promise when runner-up on return/hurdles bow at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November and noted finishing with running left when fourth in Grade 2 at Haydock latest. Remains capable of better.

Form: 1-24

Hans Lippershey²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: B I Case

20/1

Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers and made a sound start over hurdles with a hood added when third of 11 in C&D maiden in November. However, ran below that level at Kempton the following month.

Form: 3-2437

Jorah D'alma⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| D

50/1

Irish point winner in May 2023. It took a while for new connections to get him to the track but it proved worth the wait when coming from off the pace to win a Ludlow bumper in April. Raced too freely when well held on Newbury hurdle bow and should do better.

Form: 1/1-0

Kado Sacree⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: O Murphy

66/1

Irish point winner who made a sound start to his hurdle career when fourth of 12 in novice at Exeter (17f, good to soft) in November. Couldn't quite match that form at Lingfield and probably of more interest in handicaps after this.

Form: U1-46

Laios Tresor³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Howell

400/1

Roman Candle gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Daly Tiger and Elyt of Gold. Dam maiden jumper. Fourth of 5 finishers only outing in Irish points (Feb 2025).

Form: 4-

Limier D'arthel⁶⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White

9/2

Fairly useful form when winning maiden bumper at Moulins (11.9f) in 2023/24 for Emmanuel Clayeux. Absent since but needs a close look in the betting ahead of hurdling/UK debut.

Form: 41/

Loustic Du Chatel³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| D

40/1

Created a good impression when making all in 5-runner bumper at Ascot (15.7f, good) on debut in November. Looked a hard ride fitted with a hood when comfortably held on Newbury hurdling debut but should prove capable of better.

Form: 17

Lully Du Houx⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

12/1

Buck's Boum gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/smart chaser Epson du Houx. Dam maiden chaser in France. Shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) on debut 58 days ago, late headway.

Form: 4

Night Ride Home¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Freddie Gordon| T: N J Henderson

80/1

Modest form in 2 bumpers and finished a tailed-off second of 4 in maiden hurdle at Sandown (2m) 19 days ago.

Form: 86-U52

Pertemps³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: O Murphy

7/1

Son Of Milan showed promise when twice third in bumpers and stepped up on his hurdling debut form when second in 11-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 34 days ago. Capable of bettter still.

Form: 33-62

Sims' Law

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

22/1

Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Coeur Serein, stays 31f. Dam point winner, out of sister to useful 2m hurdler Spirit Leader and from good jumping family. One to note in the betting.

Form:

The Den Master⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

33/1

Masterstroke gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler (2m-2¾m winner) Polly Peachum and fairly useful chaser (2½m/21f winner) Some Man. Third on second of 2 starts in points (Nov 23).

Form: 4-3

Papa Oscar^h¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

400/1

Modest maiden on Flat who looks set for a struggle on hurdling debut.

Double Measure (2/5), Limier D'arthel (9/2), Pertemps (7/1), Lully Du Houx (12/1), Hans Lippershey (20/1), Sims' Law (22/1), Bobajob (28/1), The Den Master (33/1), Loustic Du Chatel (40/1), Jorah D'alma (50/1), Kado Sacree (66/1), Night Ride Home (80/1), Different Drum (300/1), Dino Moon (300/1), Laios Tresor (400/1), Papa Oscar (400/1)

DOUBLE MEASURE has shaped with plenty of promise on both his starts over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account in this sphere. French bumper winner Limier D'arthel needs a close look in the betting however, as does newcomer Sims' Law, who's from a good jumping family.
