Get Pulling With PJ Nicholls SsangYong Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who was fortunate but showed much improved form fitted with a hood when winning 10-runner maiden over C&D 20 days ago, keeping on when left in front last. More required under a penalty.

Fairly-useful Flat performer who confirmed the promise of her hurdling debut when landing a thin maiden with ease at Southwell (15.8f, good) in May. Defied a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Newton Abbot and remains one to keep onside.

Fairly useful winner at 7f on Flat in Ireland and off the mark over hurdles in 3-runner handicap at Warwick (2m) 35 days ago, having run of race under a change of tactics. Should be competitive under a penalty.

Modest and irresolute on the Flat and too free both starts over hurdles.

€23,000 3-y-o, £20,000 5-y-o, Califet gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Regina Dracones, stays 29f. Winning pointer, pulled up last time (Apr 2022).

Maiden pointer who showed nothing on his Rules debut at Uttoxeter 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Well held in bumper/novice hurdle.

Milan gelding. Dam unplaced sole start in bumpers. Market can guide.

Modest Flat winner who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third in 8-runner novice over C&D last month. More needed for win purposes.

Poor in bumpers and lots more required now hurdling.

Tailed off in maiden/novice hurdle.
