Braceys My Coranna Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Off time: 17:30 | Winning time: 3m 55.80s

Angel Wave¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Harvey Barfoot-Saunt⁽⁷⁾| T: S Thomas

50/1

Has looked one for the longer term in his 3 outings so far, well held first 2 starts before falling at the third in novice at Ffos Las 12 days ago.

Form: 57F

Caspada¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

150/1

Bit of promise on bumper debut but well held next time and has fared no better in a pair of novice hurdles, eighth of 11 at Hexham on latest run 11 days ago.

Form: 4068

Go Try³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: R L Llewellyn

150/1

Sent off at big odds (100/1) and offered little first time up when tailed off in maiden at Wincanton last month.

Form: 0

Jubertilee^h1¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Summersby

33/1

Mahler gelding. Dam unraced. Multiple point winner who finished second of 3 on his latest outing early this month. Wears hood for belated Rules debut, but he's one to note with good-value claimer on board.

Form: 51-2122

My Boy Aaron¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens| OR: 110

4/9

Much improved since a breathing operation, placed on his last 3 starts including when beaten only by the odds-on favourite in a Ffos Las novice 12 days ago. Looks to hold leading claims.

Form: 2-05332

Polemon^t,p³⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Edward Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 110

20/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat. Hasn't matched that level over hurdles, though ran well when second in a 2½m Clonmel maiden a year ago. Well below form both subsequent outings over hurdles last spring, but he enters calculations on first start since leaving Denis Hogan.

Form: 6572P-3

Trapper John⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: Harry Eustace

9/2

Fair maiden on the Flat but only modest form in a pair of maiden hurdles at the turn of the year. Produced best effort on the level when runner-up in a 2m Kempton handicap in February, though may be more one for handicaps in this sphere after another run.

Form: 50

Good Girl Rachel²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Ben Clarke

40/1

Third in an Irish point in January but looks to be being brought along gradually over hurdles, making little impact on her second run when eighth of 11 in novice over this C&D 22 days ago.

Form: PP378

Lakeview Lass¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

300/1

Always behind in a pair of bumpers and it was a similar story on her first start over hurdles, last of 9 in novice over this C&D 13 days ago.

Form: 099

Queens Up¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: Mrs R Ford

250/1

Had been placed on second of 2 starts in points but little encouragement sent hurdling when pulled up in 2¾m maiden at Newton Abbot 10 days ago.

Form: P-3P

Both Of Us^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Bass| T: Kerry Lee| D

11/1

Fair handicapper on the Flat at up to 2m, winning 3 times last year for George Boughey. Tailed of on hurdling/stable debut but showed more when third in a C&D novice 22 days ago, albeit no match for a couple of useful types.

Form: 43

Grand Harbour³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: Joe Ponting

150/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who didn't go with much promise tried over hurdles when well-beaten fourth of 7 in novice at Taunton a month ago.

Form: 4

Mariole³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N J Henderson

7/1

Runner-up in a 1½m French bumper last spring. Well held in a listed bumper at Cheltenham on seasonal/stable debut, but showed aptitude for hurdling when third in a Taunton novice in February. Lesser effort at Huntingdon last time, though it still remains early days for him.

Form: 036

Whatcombe¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R P McLernon| T: Faye Bramley

16/1

Fairly useful form at best on Flat but went the wrong way last year and, after 5 months off, ran to just a poor level when fourth of 6 in juvenile event at Fakenham on hurdles bow 18 days ago. This run should reveal more.

Form: 4

Forecasts

My Boy Aaron (4/9), Trapper John (9/2), Mariole (7/1), Both Of Us (11/1), Whatcombe (16/1), Polemon (20/1), Jubertilee (33/1), Good Girl Rachel (40/1), Angel Wave (50/1), Caspada (150/1), Grand Harbour (150/1), Go Try (150/1), Queens Up (250/1), Lakeview Lass (300/1)

MY BOY AARON has left his previous form behind since having a breathing operation, running to a fair level when placed on his last 3 starts, and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Irish recruit Polemon is feared most on his first start for Tim Vaughan, with Mariole completing the shortlist.
