Newbury

Tomorrow, HurdleClass 32m

GRAECIA has enjoyed a fine year over hurdles and may be able to take another step forward returned to better ground. She's narrowly preferred to the improving White Noise, who looks capable of a bold bid for the hat-trick, while last year's winner Tour Ovalie shouldn't be overlooked following a career-best success at Ludlow last time. Rula Bula and Golden Falls both deserve an honourable mention in a trappy handicap.

    Verdict
    Isn't the easiest to catch right, ran creditably in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham in April but disappointed over hurdles subsequently. Back to form when runner-up in a 2½m chase at Warwick in September and can be competitive if on a going day following a break.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful bumper made a bright start last season, including second in listed novice company (solid form) over C&D. Lost her form after but back on track when making a successful reappearance at Carlisle (second franked form since) and rates a definite player if backing that up.

    Verdict
    Yet to recapture fairly useful French form but has won a pair of novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls, latterly when landing short odds in routine style at Taunton last time. Still relatively early days but will need to back to her best on return to a handicap.

    Verdict
    Progressive mare left hurdles debut form well behind when scoring on reappearance at Worcester (2m) in October. Took another sizeable step forward when following up decisively on handicap debut at Market Rasen (18.6f) last month. Tongue strap on and should go well in hat-trick bid.

    Verdict
    Could be set for another productive campaign, better than ever when repeating 2024 win in a mares' handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time, doing well to reel in one that got first run. 8 lb higher than when successful in this race last year but likeable mare cannot be discounted.

    Verdict
    Useful bumper performer left previous hurdles form behind to win 2m Chepstow novice in the mud in January. Wasn't up to Grade 2 company next time and given a considerate ride when well held on Stratford comeback. Track will suit and no surprise to see her closer to form with a run under her belt.

    Verdict
    Winner of juvenile hurdle at Dieppe (16.9f) and runner-up in Class 1 listed juvenile over same C&D. Bought for €60,000 from George/Zetterholm yard and possibly needed the run (hood replaced usual tongue tie) on stable debut over C&D. Interesting on French form and receives handy 3-y-o allowance.

    Verdict
    Cosy winner over 2m at Worcester in September and found a chunk of improvement when runner-up at Hereford, shaping as though still well-treated. Ran well faced with better company/softer ground when third at Huntingdon latest and strong-travelling filly makes appeal back on sounder surface.
