JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Registered As The Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle) (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

3YO only | Class 1 | 2m 87y | 9 Runners | Turf

Admiral Will Brown^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Josh Williamson| T: P Magee

9/2

Flat winner for this yard and made a winning start over hurdles in good style fitted with a tongue strap at Down Royal (a race won by subsequent Grade 1 winners Wodhooh and Mange Tout in recent years) 2 weeks ago, leading on bridle between 3 and 2 out. Needs considering.

Form: 1

Atomic City³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| D

15/8

Flat maiden winner on heavy ground in the spring and looked potentially useful when making a successful hurdling debut with a fair amount in hand in Cork maiden 5 weeks ago. On the shortlist.

Form: 1

Charles Darnay¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: James Owen| D

13/8

Progressive winner on the Flat and overcame inexperience (took time to warm to his task) to make a successful start in this sphere in listed event at Wetherby 2 weeks ago. That is just about the best form on offer and he rates an exciting prospect.

Form: 1

Confused^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Faye Bramley

66/1

Maiden winner on the Flat in Ireland for Jessica Harrington. Progressed as expected from his gentle introduction to hurdling when 5¾ lengths fourth to Charles Darnay in listed event at Wetherby but has work to do to turn around the form with that one. Headgear on (well held when tried on Flat).

Form: 64

Don Dandy^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 127| BF| D

14/1

Progressive form in the spring for Mme M. Pineda, winning at Compiegne on third start. Changed hands for €150,000 after and only just failed to make a winning start for this yard at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago, an error 2 out and his awkwardness under pressure costing him. Headgear now applied.

Form: 421-2

Electrical¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Brian Toomey

80/1

Flat winner who's out of a half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chase winner (2m-19f winner) Grey Shot, but this looks a very tall order on hurdles bow.

Form:

Magnetude³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| D

8/1

Useful stayer on the Flat but will need to jump with a lot more confidence in order to reach similar heights over hurdles given the manner of his hurdles debut win at Wetherby last month, rallying to lead close home after some iffy jumps. Yard also saddles Charles Darnay.

Form: 1

Mix Match^t1¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

14/1

Magic Dream gelding. Dam, winner on Flat in Norway, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser Colonel Mustard. Showed ability sole run on Flat before winning newcomer hurdle event at Clairefontaine in June, staying on well to lead late on. Sold from Mathieu Pitart for €155,000 soon after.

Form: 1

Tiny Riot¹¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: M Young| OR: 105| BF| D

125/1

Modest form on the Flat before making a winning hurdling debut at Hexham in June. Hasn't progressed since, though, and looks out of his depth starting out for a new yard (sold from Dan Skelton for £5,500).

Form: 122

Forecasts

Charles Darnay (13/8), Atomic City (5/2), Admiral Will Brown (5/1), Magnetude (8/1), Don Dandy (10/1), Mix Match (10/1), Confused (33/1), Electrical (66/1), Tiny Riot (66/1)

James Owen has won 2 of the last 3 renewals and has a good chance of adding to that tally with CHARLES DARNAY, who looks another very useful juvenile for connections after his listed win at Wetherby. Irish challengers Atomic City and Admiral Will Brown were both impressive when making winning debuts in this sphere so rate as serious threats.
