Easter Sunday Family Fun Day Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 5m 35.50s

Hillberry Hill⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 114| D

4/6

Left debut display behind when landing an 11-runner maiden upped to 2½m at Thurles when last seen in January. Changed hands since and, with plenty of scope for further improvement, he makes plenty of appeal here for his new yard.

Form: 61

Danger Nap⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

11/1

Fair form first 2 starts in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps in this sphere judged on his very low-key efforts in maidens at Aintree and Doncaster.

Form: 250-6P

Sea Of Fortune^t¹³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

33/1

Failed to make any sort of an impact on his introduction in a Chepstow bumper in November, despite his prominence in the betting, and it's probably safe to assume that Hillberry Hill is the stable No 1.

Form: 0

The Flier Begley⁶⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 119| D

5/2

Healthy strike rate over fences (6-22) and, though he failed to fire back from a break at Market Rasen in January and is 0-8 in this sphere, this 11-y-o should make his presence felt.

Form: 131-1P7

Tombereau³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

17/2

Maiden pointer who showed a bit more than on Rules debut when fourth of 13 in a C&D maiden hurdle last month. Could be in line for minor place money.

Form: 2-76P4

Karlita Desbois⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley

33/1

Limited promise in bumpers/over hurdles so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 68-66

Forecasts

Hillberry Hill (4/6), The Flier Begley (5/2), Tombereau (17/2), Danger Nap (11/1), Karlita Desbois (33/1), Sea Of Fortune (33/1)

It's hard to look beyond HILLBERRY HILL, who was successful in the second of his 2 starts for Margaret Mullins in Ireland and looks sure to progress for his new yard. The Flier Begley isn't getting any younger but he's the conceivable danger to the selection, for all that Tombereau showed some promise over C&D last time.
