William Hill Racing Price Boosts Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 12:21 | Winning time: 4m 17.50s

Klycot²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 120

11/8

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France who was built on his encouraging hurdle debut fourth when seeing off 3 rivals at Exeter last month. Pitched into a deeper race and better form when second of 5 in Grade 2 (albeit a weak one) 4 weeks ago. Sets the standard back in class.

Form: 412

Vivre Le Reve⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

15/8

Brother to fair 17f hurdle winner Solomoon. Dam (h111), ran 3 times over hurdles, useful 1½m winner on Flat in France. Won 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Lyon Parilly on debut by 2 lengths from Sundays Child. Left Hugo Merienne £100,000 later in November and likely to improve for new yard.

Form: 1

Ashdown Forest²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

40/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Ed Walker. Weakened into a well-held sixth on Doncaster hurdle debut 3 weeks ago but went off a short-priced favourite so a good deal better was seemingly expected. Blinkers on and again too free at Musselburgh.

Form: 67

Canavan²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat. Left low-key hurdles debut behind when sixth at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago but he was never really a factor.

Form: 76

Captain Connor³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

33/1

Showed plenty to work on when 8 lengths third of 9 in Huntingdon bumper (soft) on debut in November but limited short-term promise switched to hurdling a month later.

Form: 34

Cloaks Of Gold^t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: M Comley| D

17/2

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Mubrook. Fair maiden on Flat (stays 13.5f) for David Evans and defied greenness when landing 5-runner juvenile hurdle at Warwick last month. That wasn't a strong race but she can still make her presence felt.

Form: 1

Dontelimurnamepike⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: Ruth Jefferson

50/1

Out of a fairly useful hurdler but ran out on hurdles debut in November and didn't show much more when completing 3 weeks later.

Form: R5

Knighton^h1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

200/1

Showed plenty of ability despite obvious inexperience when runner-up in 4-runner novice on the Flat at Ripon in September. Out of a half sister to a useful hurdler but didn't know what was required when well held sent hurdling last month. Hood may help him settle.

Form: 8

My Kinda Ghaiy²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

7/2

Fair maiden on Flat (should stay beyond 1m) for Hugo Palmer. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Courage and showed plenty to work on when second of 11 on hurdles debut at Taunton 3 weeks ago. Expected to build on that.

Form: 2

Twilight Safari^h1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond

250/1

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Handazan. Fair maiden on Flat (should stay 1½m) for Harry Eustace and shaped as though in need of the run on last month's C&D hurdles debut. Hooded.

Form: 7

Non-Runners

Glenridding²¹

Weight: 11-0| Age: 4

T: Ewan Whillans J: Callum Bewley

Treasure Islands⁸⁷

Weight: 11-0| Age: 4

T: T D Easterby J: Tom Midgley

Forecasts

Klycot (11/8), Vivre Le Reve (15/8), My Kinda Ghaiy (7/2), Cloaks Of Gold (17/2), Glenridding (14/1), Captain Connor (33/1), Treasure Islands (33/1), Ashdown Forest (40/1), Dontelimurnamepike (50/1), Canavan (50/1), Knighton (200/1), Twilight Safari (250/1)

KLYCOT continued his theme of race-by-race progress when second in a Grade 2 at Chepstow a month ago and back in a conventional juvenile, he can regain the winning thread. My Kinda Ghaiy and Vivre le Reve are potential improvers for their successful yards and look the chief threats.
