bet365 Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Settings

Selected odds by:

Blazing Court³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| T: J E Dixon| OR: 96| D

Modest winning chaser for Martin Keighley (sold for £5,000) last summer and has ran to a similar level in 3 starts over hurdles for new yard, finishing third in a 6-runner Kelso novice (21f, good) last time. May prove more effective back in handicap company over fences.

Form: 32163-3

Emily Love¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| T: G Elliott| OR: 113

Winning Pointer has made a promising start to her hurdling career, off the mark with a smooth success in a 15-runner Limerick novice (19.2f) 10 days ago. Should be able to follow up on her way to better things.

Form: 3332-21

Late Night Drama¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| T: S Corbett| D

Maiden Irish pointer left her Rules debut well and truly behind when a surprising winner (50/1) of a 2½m Hexham novice hurdle last month. Could improve again and looks the most likely challenger to the favourite.

Form: 5-1

Moonbow^t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| T: P Neville| D

Point winner who struck at the second time of asking in bumpers at Catterick in December (third won a 3-runner race subsequently). Well held in an Ayr bumper after 4 months off, stopped quickly. Needs to bounce back up in trip on hurdles debut but too soon to write him off yet.

Form: 1219-

Wrecking Ballbilly¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| T: N C Kelly

Bumper winner has yet to reproduce same level of form over hurdles, highly-tried in a Grade 3 on hurdles debut prior to finishing well held in a pair of 2m maidens at the end of last year. Could have more to offer back up in trip but handicapping may be more his bag.

Form: 213/P00-

Delayed Charm^h1,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| T: M A Barnes| OR: 83

Best hurdles effort to date upped in trip when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good, 50/1) 32 days ago, though possibly flattered given the slowly-run nature of that race. More needed.

Form: P87-4

Pure Gold²⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 92

Fair handicapper on Flat. Yet to reach that level over hurdles but offered something to work with when placing in a couple of maiden hurdles for Alexandra Dunn last year (sold for 3,200 gns). Could do better over the longer trip on stable debut but looks another who will fare best in handicaps.

Form: 5/83253-

Somebodycomegether¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| T: J Bedi

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 2m) and showed little aptitude for hurdling on debut at Cartmel 13 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Emily Love (4/11), Late Night Drama (9/2), Blazing Court (10/1), Moonbow (20/1), Pure Gold (25/1), Wrecking Ballbilly (25/1), Delayed Charm (50/1), Somebodycomegether (66/1)

EMILY LOVE should be able to follow up her smooth victory at Limerick on her way to better things. Surprise novice hurdle winner Late Night Drama looks the one for the forecast and though disappointing last time, it's too soon to write off bumper winner Moonbow.
