4 x 4 Tyres Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:20 | Winning time: 5m 31.90s

Capricciose²³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

13/8

From a good jumping family. Showed plenty of stamina to win Carlisle bumper. Did all she could when 15-length fifth in listed event at Sandown (2m) on debut for top yard. In the mix on her bumper form (all on soft), and she may well improve for the longer trip/switch to hurdling on return.

Form: 315-

Fountains Gala¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Stenhouse⁽⁷⁾| T: Claire Hitch

300/1

Passing Glance mare who isn't badly bred. Offered little in a couple of completed hurdle starts last season. Needs this run for a mark.

Form: 90U-

Jax Belle²⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

33/1

From a family yard has had success with. Didn't pull up any trees in bumpers last year. Hinted at ability when mid-field in 12-runner Ludlow maiden on hurdling debut in February. Probably a longer-term project.

Form: 036-

Posh Chick¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

14/1

Winning pointer who improved/justified support when off the mark in a Plumpton bumper in April. Up against some better-bred rivals on hurdling debut, however, she's in capable hands and should benefit from the longer trip.

Form: 1/P21-

Rosie Mahler³⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

15/2

From a good jumping family (closely related to useful hurdler Favour And Fortune). Finished 2-length second in an ordinary Uttoxeter maiden (2½m, heavy) on hurdling debut last November. Certainly open to improvement up in trip, for all her yard has yet to hit top gear this season.

Form: 2-

Secret Des Lune¹⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: Ben Clarke

9/1

Aided by the run of the race/showed a good attitude when fair winner of a Plumpton bumper in March. Market foretold a quiet hurdling debut at Fontwell (2¼m) subsequently. Type who could improve up in trip this season, possibly in handicaps.

Form: 221-6

Trinity Street²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 111

11/8

Expensive pointer who has made a positive start under Rules. Again behind Charisma Cat (borderline useful) when 9¾-length fourth in Grade 2 at Newbury (21f, good) in March. Sets the standard back in calmer waters, with the slightly longer trip no harm under conditions perhaps quicker than ideal.

Form: 1/23254-

Vajra¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris

300/1

Steps up in trip having looked badly in need of the experience on her belated debut at Hereford (2m). Probably needs more time.

Form: 5

Western Charm²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball

12/1

Related to some above-average jumpers. Some mitigation for both starts following a comfortable heavy-ground bumper win (beat Secret Des Lune) at Wincanton last season. Market should offer plenty of clues switched to a markedly longer trip on hurdling bow, with yard also saddling Posh Chick.

Form: 6195-

Forecasts

Trinity Street (11/8), Capricciose (13/8), Rosie Mahler (15/2), Secret Des Lune (9/1), Western Charm (12/1), Posh Chick (14/1), Jax Belle (33/1), Vajra (300/1), Fountains Gala (300/1)

Hopefully the ground doesn't dry out too much for TRINITY STREET, who looks the one to beat with sights lowered on return. Well-related Rosie Mahler may follow her home if improving as entitled from her debut effort, while Capricciose could be the pick of the hurdling newcomers.
