Racing TV Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:30 | Winning time: 4m 25.48s

Blazing Echo¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Eloise Quayle

150/1

Little impact in a pair of bumpers and similar story on hurdles debut at Newcastle last month.

Form: 69P

Delayed Charm^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 81

150/1

Probably flattered when fourth in a novice hurdle at Kelso in May and has failed to build on that by a long chalk since, weakening when coming down on handicap debut at Sedgefield latest.

Form: 87-47RF

Double Indemnity³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

28/1

Point winner who finished well held in Aintree bumper on NH debut 39 days ago and is likely to need more time/longer trip. Goes hurdling now.

Form: 51-6

It's Top^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy

8/13

Didn't go on from his debut bumper victory in 2 further outings in that sphere but made promising start over hurdles, back from 11 months off, when second of 11 in novice at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Likely more to come yet and holds strong claims.

Form: 1/177-2

Jonzac¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Toby Wynne| T: P Morris

150/1

Winner of a point since down the field in bumper for Willie Mullins in April 2024 but showed nothing on recent yard/hurdles debut at Uttoxeter.

Form: 0/U331-P

Karma De Cotte¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs J Stephen

50/1

Showed ability when third of 11 in novice (200/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to build on that and can make presence felt.

Form: 6PU2-43

Lasko Des Obeaux⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

5/2

Shaped well when a debut Chepstow hurdling second in November but failed to build on it in the mud when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, 11/8) the following month. In good hands, however, and better is expected here.

Form: 2-23

Party In The Park^t1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton

10/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed promise when third in Newcastle bumper on Rules debut in October. Yet to build on that in a couple of starts over timber, however. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 2-365

Road To Rosley⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 79

200/1

Placed on second of 2 starts in bumpers but has yet to show much over hurdles, including on return from lengthy absence at Carlisle last month.

Form: 655PP/5

Swingforthefence¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

100/1

Far from disgraced on bumper debut in April but was never involved on switch to hurdling at Newcastle last month and is likely a longer-term prospect.

Form: 3-7

Takeyoutotheisland¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

150/1

From a good jumping family but efforts in a bumper and 2 hurdles starts have lacked spark.

Form: 549

Thorneylands⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| BF

9/2

Encouraging NH debut when second of 11 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Likely to improve and could be a player on hurdles bow.

Form: 2

Forecasts

It's Top (8/13), Lasko Des Obeaux (5/2), Thorneylands (9/2), Party In The Park (10/1), Double Indemnity (28/1), Karma De Cotte (50/1), Swingforthefence (100/1), Takeyoutotheisland (150/1), Delayed Charm (150/1), Jonzac (150/1), Blazing Echo (150/1), Road To Rosley (200/1)

Bumper winner IT'S TOP made an encouraging start in this discipline at Newbury last month and can be expected to improve on that. He gets the nod in the opener. Lasko des Obeaux looks the chief threat on form, whilst Thorneylands showed plenty of ability when runner-up on bumper debut at Newcastle and will be dangerous if taking to hurdling.
