Julie Satterley Waving Goodbye To 49 Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
Prediction Leader
La Fille Friday (FR)
0%
First foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m hurdle winner Aristo Du Plessis, out of maiden sister to French 2m1f chase winner Babati; best watched on this racecourse debut.
Rest of field
Machete Beach (GB)
0%
Lightly raced 5yo who scored twice on Flat over 1m2f in 2024 for Harry Charlton; returned from a 359-day break to open his account over hurdles in a weak Hereford maiden (2m, good) 25 days ago; has clearly had issues but possesses plenty of talent and should go close.
Ja Klipdrift (GER)
0%
4,000euros yearling; third foal; dam German 7f/1m winner, sister to useful 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Jan Maat, half-sister to 7f Listed winner Japan; probably best watched on debut.
Maskarvel (FR)
0%
Made the frame in all three Irish bumpers last year and launched hurdling career with three very encouraging runs for new stable, most recently when clear second at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; looks sure to run well.
Usyk (IRE)
0%
Displayed clear promise when making the frame in a couple of bumpers last summer, but below that form when sixth of seven in a similar event at Worcester (2m, good; favourite) in September; makes hurdling debut and market will be best guide to his chance.
At Sunrise (GB)
0%
Has shown just modest form in a couple of bumpers and two hurdle starts; easy to dismiss.
Take The Boat (IRE)
0%
Four wins on AW Flat over 7f-1m4f at a modest level; interesting how she takes to this new discipline; may be one to fight out minor honours.
