Sun Racing Free Tickets With Sun Club Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Prediction Leader
Keep Off The Sugar (GB)
0%
Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround.
Rest of field
Polemon (GB)
0%
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110.
Premier Fantasy (IRE)
0%
Fair pointer with a 6-15 record (2m4f-3m, good to soft-good to firm: tongue-tied for five) for Bradley Gibbs; arrives on the back of a victory in a small-field mixed open when a short-priced favourite and looks the type to make an impact in this sphere; respected on hurdle/stable debut.
River Don (IRE)
0%
Off the mark at the seventh attempt in points when landing a five-runner maiden in April, but failed to build on that when tailed off and beating only one rival home on last month's hurdle debut over C&D; cheekpieces worn then quickly dispensed with and he needs to leave that effort well behind.
Tiger Rouge (IRE)
0%
Half-brother to two winners, Skatman (useful 2m-3m2f hurdle/chase) and Rockbrook (2m-2m3f hurdle/chase); tailed-off last of seven in a point bumper in March and has plenty to prove on rules debut.
Tiger Tobin (IRE)
0%
Maiden point winner in February 2024, but remains without further success and has struggled this year; faces a different test on hurdle/stable debut and will need to raise his game considerably.
French Diablo (FR)
0%
Sent off at 4-1 for his debut at Musselburgh (extended 1m7f, good to soft) in November and travelled with some promise before hanging badly left; failed to back that up when beaten 44l at Newbury the following month but remains open to improvement and this longer trip could suit; hood added.
Yellow Card (GB)
0%
Dual Flat winner (AW and turf; 1m1f-1m4f) but form slumped after a promising start for this stable; however, he produced a much-improved effort when runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last month on his fourth hurdle start and a repeat of that performance would give him leading claims.
Brenda Lady (GB)
0%
Related to several winners, including Dare To Endeavour (useful 2m4f-3m chase); 100-1 when soundly beaten on hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; step up in trip should suit but likely one for longer term.
