PricedUp Bet Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Dead-heated on second of 2 point starts. Fourth behind a subsequent winner on debut for Elizabeth Anne Lalor. Dictated when fairly useful winner of a Worcester bumper on return/stable debut last month. In excellent hands and has leading claims if running to a similar level on hurdling bow.

Placed on second of 2 starts in bumpers for Tom Weston. Has looked less than straightforward over hurdles. Clearly isn't the stable's leading hope in here.

Cheap purchase who was gambled on when held back by inexperience on debut. Easy to back when well beaten in another Catterick bumper last November. Entitled to need the run/experience now sent hurdling following 11 months away.

Borderline useful Flat winner (stays 11f) in Germany. Made an encouraging hurdling debut/reappearance when 7½-length third at Worcester (2m), the form since well advertised by the front pair. Sure to do better with a run under his belt and interesting on only his second start for a powerful yard.

Jack Hobbs gelding out of a smart mare. Pulled up on debut in Southwell maiden (80/1) 10 days ago. Longer-term project for yard who saddle better-fancied Northern Olympian.

Went close in a couple of bumpers before pulling up on hurdling bow for David Pipe. Shaped quite well when 13½-length third on first start for Adrian Keatley here (21f) later in July. Connections presumably have one eye on handicaps, though at least worth a market check with Brian Hughes booked.

Runner-up sole start in points. Sold for £8,000 after finishing mid-field in Aintree bumper for Francesca Poste. Showed some potential when distant fourth in first-time hood over C&D on hurdling/stable debut. Should improve, but he's up against a couple of potentially above-average ones here.

Has achieved little in a bumper/pair of maiden hurdles. Needs this run for a mark.

Half-brother to yard's smart hurdler/top-class chaser Edwardstone. Shaped a fair bit better than the distance beaten suggests when mid-field in a Warwick bumper in March. Capable of better now hurdling, for all he has plenty to find with the form principals.

Fairly useful Flat winner (up to 1¼m) who looked as good as ever this autumn. Potentially interesting now switched to hurdles (usual tongue strap on) by very capable yard and market likely to offer plenty of clues.
