16:00 Southwell — Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Maiden Hurdle (ARC Summer Novices' Brush Hurdle Qualifier) (GBB Race) model predictions

Hawk's Rock (IRE)

0%

Irish raider who launched hurdling career with two promising runs in cheekpieces last month, latterly when close fourth of ten at Cartmel (2m6f, good); that form already puts him on the premises here, and he can improve if he cuts out the jumping errors.

Manalishi (IRE)

0%

Runner-up on last year's bumper debut and placed on all three hurdling starts, most recently when clear second of eight at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; leading contender.

Papillondelumiere (IRE)

0%

Maiden pointer who was soundly beaten when 100-1 for first two hurdling starts.

Trigger The Light (IRE)

0%

Made quite promising rules debut when third in seven-runner Warwick bumper (good) in October but was pulled up on hurdling debut later that month (2m4f, good to soft); had wind op during seven-month break.

Who's Glen (FR)

0%

Useful Flat racer who made the frame on four of his five hurdling starts for Donald McCain last season, most notably when third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March; well beaten in good-quality Flat handicap last month but ought to play a significant role in this.

Run Happy (GB)

0%

Made quite promising rules debut when fifth of 14 in pointers' bumper at Aintree (good) last month but almost certainly needs to improve to threaten the principals on this hurdling debut.

Jacquette (GB)

0%

Well beaten at huge odds on both hurdling starts for Danni O'Neill; now with Georgie Howell.

Rock Sensation (IRE)

0%

Won good-ground course bumper for Ben Pauling in spring 2025 and made the frame in soft-ground Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November but has made an underwhelming start to her hurdling career; shaped with some promise on last month's stable debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was safely held in the end; needs to up her game over this longer trip.
