Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:16 | Winning time: 4m 0.56s

Halftheworldaway³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 108| CD

10/11

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and off the mark at third time of asking over hurdles when taking C&D novice (soft) from the front last month. Leading contender under a penalty.

Form: 2-4321

Roses All The Way^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 109

13/8

Fairly useful in bumpers and made the most of a good opportunity in 2½m Musselburgh maiden last month. Ran just as well in defeat when runner-up at Ayr in first-time cheekpieces and looks sure to go well again back in trip.

Form: 0-36412

After The Ball³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D McCain Jnr

28/1

€20,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Mill Green and fair hurdler Chives. Maiden Irish pointer who is worth a second look in the market on Rules debut.

Form: 324F33

Highland Haven¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

7/1

Fairly-useful bumper winner last season who stepped up on her hurdling debut effort when fifth of 8 in novice at Worcester (2m) in October. Likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 1620-45

Jollie Dame¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

14/1

A 6-figure buy as a store and made promising bumper debut at Warwick in November. Not really built on that, however, and recent Kempton hurdles bow left the impression she may be one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 2433

Seekingrainbows³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead

125/1

Offered little in a couple of starts over hurdles this winter.

Form: P8

She Can Run

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: R T Dunne| T: S Allwood

150/1

Falco filly. Dam 2½m-3¾m hurdle/chase winner (probably stayed 4¼m). Likely a longer-term prospect judged on pedigree.

Forecasts

Halftheworldaway (10/11), Roses All The Way (13/8), Highland Haven (7/1), Jollie Dame (14/1), After The Ball (28/1), Seekingrainbows (125/1), She Can Run (150/1), Toni's Legacy (250/1)

HALFTHEWORLDAWAY has been steadily progressive over hurdles and may be able to follow up last month's course victory. Roses All The Way arrives in good form and rates the chief threat, whilst Highland Haven is also of interest back from a break.
