Hazelton Mountford Insurance Brokers EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:05 | Winning time: 3m 53.07s

Diamond Jim²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110| D

11/4

Followed encouraging debut with a tame display in listed company at Aintree but firmly back on track when landing a 6-runner Haydock juvenile hurdle (15.6f, good). More will be needed under a penalty here but further improvement is certainly plausible.

Form: 271

Dream's Ka⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

20/1

Was the only member of the 8-strong field having its first start of any description when third at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) last month. In good hands and open to improvement but others boast more appealing credentials at this stage.

Form: 3

Feel Gut¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/7

Shaped with plenty of promise when finding just one too good on sole start for previous connections in a 3-y-o hurdle at Auteuil (2¼m, soft) in October. Interesting recruit for top yard and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant.

Form: 2

Majeur Allen³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

11/1

Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart chaser Enjoy d'Allen and multiple French cross-country chase winner Hermine Allen. Despite his stamina-laden pedigree, he didn't shape at all badly over this trip when third in a junior hurdle on debut at Lingfield and likely to do better in time.

Form: 3

Maxios Aurelius^h1⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White

80/1

In good hands but beaten a fair way in a bumper and juvenile hurdle in November. Hood applied.

Form: 84

Mecene⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams

10/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Faivoir and fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner Clic Work. Encouraging start to his career when chasing home a potentially useful sort at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) and that experience won't be wasted on him.

Form: 2

Lets Go Mo³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

150/1

Modest form in 2 bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles.

Form: 86

Forecasts

Feel Gut (4/7), Diamond Jim (11/4), Enya (11/2), Mecene (10/1), Majeur Allen (11/1), Dream's Ka (20/1), Maxios Aurelius (80/1), Lets Go Mo (150/1)

FEEL GUT shaped like a sure-fire future winner when second on his sole start on the other side of the Channel and he is taken to deliver on that promise starting out for the Nicky Henderson yard here. Enya and Mecene both found just one too good on their respective introductions, too, and are feared most in that order of preference, while Diamond Jim is also accorded respect.
