Unibet Abram Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) (GBB Race)

4YO plus | Class 1 | 2m 5f 50y | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 138

Has enjoyed a fine campaign, making it 4 wins from 5 starts this season when landing the 22-runner Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last month. The one to beat as she drops back down in grade.

Form: 3-11121

Dream Shadow⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 122| BF

11/2

Bumper winner who created a good impression when recording back-to-back novice hurdle victories at Warwick and Ayr. Good fourth in Grade 2 at Warwick (White Noise ahead in second) in February, before seeming stretched by the step up to 3m at Doncaster last time.

Form: 2-21142

Girl Friday²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P W Wadge| T: M & D Easterby

10/1

Winner of her sole outing in Irish points and also made a successful start over hurdles in 6-runner maiden at Wetherby, well on top at the finish. Interesting contender with improvement to come.

Form: 11

Great Dance^t1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Chester Williams

28/1

Won a Newton Abbot bumper on debut before possibly unsuited by soft ground in listed event at Huntingdon next time. Well clear of the rest when third of 12 in a Taunton maiden on hurdles bow last month, but has something to find with tongue strap added.

Form: 193

Just A Glance²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: I Chanin| OR: 116

16/1

Showed plenty in an Aintree bumper last spring and has looked a good prospect over hurdles, winning a Hereford maiden in February before making all in novice at Chepstow 20 days ago. Up in grade but she's open to further progress.

Form: 3/11-211

Livingonaprayer⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 120| D

16/1

Went the right in each of her first 3 starts, winning novices at Huntingdon in November and at Wincanton (battled well) a month later. However, failed to give her running when pulled up in listed event at Doncaster in February.

Form: 5-11P

Torpille Dagrostis^p⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| OR: 118| D

7/2

Runner-up twice from 4 outings in bumpers and found only one too good on her first 2 starts in maiden hurdles, before landing the odds at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago (the second won next time). Respected now that she's up and running.

Form: 238221

Millady²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Toby Wynne| T: Mrs M Rowley

33/1

Little impact in a pair of bumpers but better signs sent hurdling when a running-on fifth of 7 in junior event at Wetherby in February. Improved again when third in maiden at Hereford 3 weeks ago, though plenty more needed in this race.

Form: 6053

Forecasts

White Noise (8/13), Torpille Dagrostis (7/2), Dream Shadow (10/1), Girl Friday (14/1), Just A Glance (16/1), Livingonaprayer (16/1), Great Dance (25/1), Millady (100/1)

WHITE NOISE took her form up another notch when staying on well for success in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham and she looks to hold leading claims of adding to her tally. Irish raider Torpille Dagrostis could be the main danger having opened her account last time, with Girl Friday one to note following her successful hurdling debut.
