bet365 Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:30 | Winning time: 3m 56.1s

Don't Need To Know⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith

14/1

0-6 in points and has run to only a modest level in a pair of novice hurdles 4 months apart. Handicaps over further will be more his bag.

Form: P4PB3-5

Magnum⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: P W Wadge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

25/1

Fair on Flat in Scandinavia (stays 1½m), and made a pleasing start over hurdles for new yard when second at Musseburgh in February. Ran poorly 5 months on at Uttoxeter, though.

Form: 2-9

Mrs Hyde³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| D

5/6

Fairly useful bumper winner for Fergal O'Brien who was well backed and made a winning start over hurdles for her new yard at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Open to improvement.

Form: 1420/6-1

Stoner's Choice^t1²⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| D

13/8

Fairly useful bumper winner (for Ben Case) who looks a good hurdling prospect. Tongue strap on.

Form: 21/57-

The Great Georgie⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen

80/1

Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but down the field in bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 37/5-9

Detective¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer

125/1

Well held all 3 starts on Flat so easily passed over on hurdle bow.

Form:

Modakhar¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: K Scott

25/1

Temperamental but fairly useful on Flat, stays 9f. Went with little fluency at Hamiton last time and perhaps best watched on this switch to obstacles.

Form:

Bowderek⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: R Johnson| T: Mrs H O Graham

40/1

Useful-looking mare who was a good second at Kelso on her sole start in bumpers. Was well held switched to hurdling over C&D last month but shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off.

Form: 2-8

Winfola²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

14/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France, successful twice in 2019 (stays 1½m). Would have gone close on hurdles bow for new yard at Musselburgh in January but for falling heavily last. Worth considering.

Form: F5-

Forecasts

Mrs Hyde (5/6), Stoner's Choice (13/8), Don't Need To Know (14/1), Winfola (14/1), Modakhar (25/1), Magnum (25/1), Bowderek (40/1), The Great Georgie (80/1), Detective (125/1)

STONER'S CHOICE boasts some tidy bumper form and has the potential to make into an above-average jumper, so he's taken to make successful hurdling debut at the expense of Southwell-scorer Mrs Hyde. Winfola and Bowderek look best of the rest.
