Download The BetMGM App Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

A useful winning stayer on Flat in France. Deservedly opened his hurdles account at Taunton in March and resumed with a solid fifth in 2m novice at Chepstow in October. Not seen to best effect when filling same spot in a handicap at Ascot subsequently and obvious contender back in novice company.

Showed his first form to get off the mark in 10-runner maiden hurdle (100/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 13 days ago, helped by the leader going too hard. More needed under a penalty.

Little promise on the Flat and in bumpers.

Fairly useful Flat performer. Could only manage remote last of 4 on Hereford hurdle debut but made a much better fist of it when second in 9-runner maiden at Newcastle (16.9f) last week.

Left behind her British debut when winning mares' novice over C&D in March. Looked set for second when falling at the last at Kempton 9 days later and not disgraced from a stiff opening mark in 9-runner handicap at Cheltenham on final outing. Good claims back in novice company. Had breathing op.

€9,000 3-y-o, Westerner filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Generous Day and fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Richhill. Best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.
