Racing To School Bridgwater College Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Opened account over hurdles in impressive fashion at this course (19f) in March and improved on that when close second in Huntingdon novice (15.8f, good to soft) the following month. Had wind operation since. The one to beat.

Sent off big odds and never landed a blow in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago.

Stepped up on previous form when fair third of 5 in bumper at Catterick 12 months ago, but has offered little in either start over timber.

Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Princess Midnight. Dam, maiden hurdler, 1½m winner on Flat out of 2m winner over jumps Setter Country. Wears hood. Market check advised on debut.

Brother to useful dual-bumper winner and showed a fair level of ability in that sphere when runner-up at Newbury and Stratford last term. Shaped quite promisingly when fourth of 11 in novice at Carlisle (17.2f, soft, 4/1) on hurdles bow last month and is open to improvement in this sphere.

Has looked of little account in a bumper and brace of hurdle outings this year.

Boasts an appealing pedigree and made a promising start over hurdles when third of 12 in novice at Chepstow (16f, soft) 34 days ago. Ought to have learnt plenty from that experience.

Offered something to work on when fifth in bumper at Newton Abbot in July but rather gone backwards since and is likely best watched on hurdles bow.

Won a Wetherby bumper on NH debut back in December 2021 but clearly had her issues since and finished well beaten on second start over hurdles at Plumpton recently.

Landed a 3-runner bumper at Newton Abbot in September but failed to repeat that effort in a more competitive event at Hereford last month and makes limited appeal on switch to hurdling.

Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when midfield in 16-runner mares' novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Tongue tie now applied and this should reveal more.
