Oddschecker Free Bets Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 2)

Fair bumper winner who cemented a sound start to his hurdling career when quickening clear to get off the mark at Lingfield in January. That form has taken a few knocks, but he remains open to improvement.

Getaway gelding. Dam, ran once in bumper, closely related to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (17f-3m winner) Aye Right. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Jan 18) and market can guide on Rules debut.

Good-looking gelding built on debut effort in valuable maiden when chasing home a fairly useful sort at Sandown in January. Likely still feeling that just a fortnight on at Fakenham and looks well worth another chance.

Shapes like a stayer and can do better in handicaps over further.

Third behind fairly useful pair on French debut and made an encouraging start for new connections when fourth in 12-runner novice at Ludlow last month. He's bred for further but should continue to improve.

Failed to beat a rival sole completed start in French bumper (pulled up others 3 runs over hurdles/fences for Nick Williams) and that's hardly a solid foundation for his stable debut.

Has joined excellent jumps yard having been a fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) for Richard Hughes. Should make a hurdler and betting can guide first time up.

Fairly useful Flat winner who improved to make it third time lucky over hurdles at Ludlow last month, full value for the victory despite having the run of things. Fourth has won subsequently and there's every reason to expect another bold run.

Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to modest 23f chase winner Delgany Deadline, stays 3¼m. Dam French hurdle winner around 2m, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Nikit'as. Pedigree suggests he could be a longer-term project but well worth a market check given who trains him.

Has shown nothing in 2 starts over hurdles.
