Hadwins Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 5m 21.06s

Newbrook Diamond^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 126

11/10

Point winner. Fairly useful form in Irish maidens last season while looking less than straightforward and didn't need to improve when finally off the mark under positive ride at Wexford last time. Longer trip unlikely to be an issue, and a similar performance should be enough to defy a penalty.

Form: 25273-1

Rebel Tribesman⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 109

13/8

Ex-Irish recruit who finished third in point prior to making successful debut in Aintree bumper. Landed the odds at the third attempt over hurdles in Warwick maiden (19f) in late-May. Longer trip ought to bring about improvement, and he should be in the mix under a penalty.

Form: 3/122-1

Viscountess Nelson³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Daniel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 111| BF

4/1

Won sole start in points. Built on hurdling debut promise to land the odds in novice at Perth (2½m) and probably should have defied a penalty at Fontwell (19f) latest. Will need to improve again for the experience.

Form: 1/421-2

Frisky Whiskey^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: B Ellison

20/1

Showed more in first-time tongue strap over longer trip when 8 lengths fourth in Hexham maiden last month, though that amounted to nothing more than poor form and she'll be better off in handicaps after this, for all this still longer trip is likely to suit.

Form: 664

Order Another One^h1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer

100/1

Off the mark in Irish points at seventh attempt but went with no promise on Rules debut at this track (17f). Now tried over longer trip in first-time hood.

Form: S344-17

Manhatane²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt

150/1

Unpromising in points and shaped as though in need of run on stable debut (33/1) over C&D. Probably a longer-term project.

Form: 4-P5

Nightflyer³⁷

Forecasts

Newbrook Diamond (11/10), Rebel Tribesman (13/8), Viscountess Nelson (4/1), Nightflyer (14/1), Frisky Whiskey (20/1), Order Another One (100/1), Manhatane (150/1)

NEWBROOK DIAMOND sets the standard and can follow up his belated success at Wexford. There's likely better to come from both Viscountess Nelson and Rebel Tribesman, who stand out as the main dangers.
