John Burke Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 18:09 | Winning time: 4m 1.03s

Do Wah Diddy¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

20/1

Finished 8 lengths second in a junior bumper at Huntingdon on debut in November 2024. Second start back from a significant absence when 23½ lengths fourth of 14 on hurdling debut here (2m) last month. May still need the experience here.

Form: 29/84

5/6

Finished ahead of Steal A Glance when runner-up at Newton Abbot on penultimate start. In with a shout of going one better when falling at the last over C&D 16 days ago. Relatively quick turnaround suggests she's none the worse, and this looks a good opportunity to gain compensation.

Form: 33-332F

Galeforcechopper^h,t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Brace

150/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers. Again did plenty wrong when well beaten over C&D second time up over hurdles.

Form: 39-69

Jury Roses⁴⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: C Boultbee-Brooks

9/2

£47,500 4-y-o, Jukebox Jury mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Draco Malfoy. Dam, maiden hurdler, half-sister to high-class hurdler (2m-19f winner) Iktitaf. Easy winner of sole start in Irish points (May 2025). That form has some substance, and she's worth noting for support on Rules debut.

Form: 1/

Mistral Milly⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 95

9/1

Maiden seemingly isn't the most robust (has bled). Standout effort for current yard when fourth at Warwick (2m) in March. Pulled up (possibly amiss) over C&D latest and something to prove returning from a further 8 weeks off.

Form: P4/94-6P

Morissette¹²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby

40/1

Down the field in a heavy-ground Gowran bumper on debut. Placed in 4 of 5 Irish point starts since, finishing close third on latest of those in May. Market should offer plenty of clues on hurdling/stable debut.

Form: 8/33253-

Nala The Lioness^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

15/2

Modest performer who finished runner-up 3 times in bumpers earlier in 2024. Got off the mark on the Flat earlier this summer and showed an aptitude for hurdling when 22¾ lengths third of 14 in C&D maiden on hurdles bow. That form some way off what's likely to be required here, though.

Form: 222P/3

Georgie's Lady⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd| T: David Dennis

200/1

Well held in pair of bumpers 4 months apart. Unlikely to make an immediate impact sent hurdling.

Form: 9-9

Steal A Glance^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 90

11/2

Hails from useful staying family. Showed more than previously over hurdles when 7 lengths second in maiden at Stratford (19f) 10 days ago. Surprise to see her dropped back in trip (non runner in a staying handicap hurdle last week) and probably needs Elated to underperform here.

Form: 73-9552

Forecasts

Elated (5/6), Jury Roses (9/2), Steal A Glance (11/2), Nala The Lioness (15/2), Mistral Milly (9/1), Drakaris (12/1), Sky Blue Ribbon (16/1), Do Wah Diddy (20/1), Morissette (40/1), Snow Is In The Sky (100/1), Galeforcechopper (150/1), Georgie's Lady (200/1)

A good opportunity for ELATED to make amends for her late fall here last month. Steal A Glance is most likely to chase her home following an improved showing at Stratford, while point winner Jury Roses could be interesting if supported on Rules debut.
