Best Odds Guarenteed At Betano Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:35 | Winning time: 4m 37.39s

Betty's Daisy^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: B Pauling| C

11/2

Successful on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and left her hurdling debut form behind when winning 12-runner mares' novice at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 37 days ago, forging clear. Open to further progress.

Form: 10-81

Jackie Hobbs³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: Harry Derham| OR: 125| BF

11/10

Dual bumper winner who had a bit in hand when making a winning hurdles debut/return at Newbury. Showed similar form when fourth of 9 in listed event at Haydock (18.9f) the following month and remains capable of better.

Form: 1/119-14

Ballymoreen⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Miss E C Lavelle

7/1

Improved on her debut form at the second attempt to get off the mark in 8-runner bumper at Wexford (16f, soft, 9/2) in October. Subsequently sold out of Mark Oliver Quigley's yard for £70,000 and rates an interesting hurdling debutante for new yard.

Form: 4-41

Blacksambelle³³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea

300/1

Well beaten in a trio of bumpers so easy to look elsewhere on this switch to hurdling.

Form: 9/07-

Camshaft²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

250/1

Bred to need time and distance and shaped in kind when seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (21f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago.

Form: 7

Edith Pelham⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

20/1

Blue Bresil mare who won her sole start in points and followed up in Aintree bumper 9 months later. Possibly found race coming too soon when failing to progress in listed event at Cheltenham 3 weeks later and remains one to view positively now switching to hurdling.

Form: 1-16

Hey Flint³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

250/1

Had shown a gimmer on second outing in bumpers but made an unpromising start to her hurdle career at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 32 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 660

Independent Lady⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

80/1

In a top yard but has shaped with only minor promise in a bumper/novice hurdle so far.

Form: 46

Lily Grace¹⁰⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

250/1

No impact in bumper and novice/maiden hurdles. Off over 2 years.

Form: 680/

Lisnamurrican⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

6/4

Irish point winner at the second attempt in December 2024 and shaped with bags of promise when runner-up on Rules debut in Huntingdon maiden hurdle (20.7f) last month. Should improve for her top yard and a bold show anticipated.

Form: 4/1-2

Lunar Lily⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton

300/1

Could hardly have shown any less in a Southwell maiden (15.8f, good to soft, 300/1) on debut 52 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: P

Moorsbrook^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Stan Sheppard| T: Mrs M Rowley

250/1

Fair bumper performer who seemed beaten by more than a lack of fitness alone when well held in Huntingdon novice (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 32 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 93/3-0

Roberta Bishop²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price

300/1

Looks on for the longer term judged on early evidence in bumpers.

Form: 39

Shotgun Shirley^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

16/1

Progressive in bumpers and shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling when seventh of 15 in Huntingdon novice (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 32 days ago. weakening run-in after racing freely. Should be capable of a good deal better providing she settles.

Form: 24-127

Silver Gale¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Price| T: Katy Price

300/1

Third sole start in point bumpers but hasn't shown much in a bumper/novice hurdle 8 months apart.

Form: 3-87

Wishful Wings³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis

300/1

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points but offered little on last month's Ludlow hurdling debut.

Form: 52-P

Forecasts

Jackie Hobbs (11/10), Lisnamurrican (6/4), Betty's Daisy (11/2), Ballymoreen (7/1), Shotgun Shirley (16/1), Edith Pelham (20/1), Independent Lady (80/1), Hey Flint (250/1), Moorsbrook (250/1), Lily Grace (250/1), Camshaft (250/1), Roberta Bishop (300/1), Wishful Wings (300/1), Silver Gale (300/1), Lunar Lily (300/1), Blacksambelle (300/1)

An interesting race of its type. LISNAMURRICAN shaped with bags of promise when runner-up on her Huntingdon hurdling debut last month and can take this en route to better things. Penalised pair Jackie Hobbs and Betty's Daisy warrant respect, while progressive bumper performer Shotgun Shirley promises to leave her hurdling debut form behind if settling better.
