Colin Jones Memorial Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
7th	1	—	Arcon (G) P Fairly useful winner on Flat (stays 2m). Hasn't bettered modest form in his 3 hurdles but he did catch the eye of the stewards last time and should have a bigger performance in him at some point.	3-66	Luke Scott J Candlish	6	71.7kg	7 6/1
4th	2	—	Devon Red (G) H Little impact in points (latest May 2024). Fitted with a hood for this belated hurdle debut. Could only consider if the subject of strong market support.	5909/	J M Quinlan Nick Scholfield	7	71.7kg	67 66/1
6th	3	—	Military Saint (G) Took 7 attempts to get off the mark in Irish points and pulled up on recent Market Rasen hurdle debut.	624P1-P	Thomas Bellamy David Dennis	6	71.7kg	81 80/1
—	4	—	Not Now (G) P Remote third on 2½m Uttoxeter hurdle debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 24 days ago. More one for the longer term over hurdles on that evidence.	30-3	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	5	71.7kg	9 8/1
8th	5	—	Trackman (G) A long-standing maiden on the Flat (stays 1¾m). Better effort over hurdles when fifth of 9 over C&D (good) 5 weeks ago, looking set for fourth until blundering the last.	65	David Noonan S Pearce	6	71.7kg	29 28/1
5th	6	—	Delgany Second Now (G) In expert hands but limited impact in C&D maiden hurdles at Worcester just 2 weeks apart. Looks the stable second string on qualifying run.	5-77	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	4	69.9kg	201 200/1
3rd	7	—	Faithful Guardian (G) Placed in 2 bumpers, including here. Didn't achieve much when sixth of 9 on C&D hurdle debut 3 weeks ago but his bumper ability provides the hope for better.	28-36	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	4	69.9kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	8	—	Iwanttobreakfree (G) T Runner-up sole start in Irish points and third in Uttoxeter bumper on recent Rules debut. Looks to have found a good opportunity sent hurdling.	23	Harry Skelton D Skelton	4	69.9kg	2.88 15/8
1st	9	—	Provision (G) FAV Fair maiden on the Flat. Performed to a similar level when third in C&D maiden (good) 35 days ago. Should go well again.	5-33	Isabelle Ryder F Brennan	4	69.9kg	2.20 6/5
9th	10	—	Galeforcechopper (M) HT Modest form at best in bumpers for D J Jeffreys and remote sixth on C&D hurdle debut for new yard last month.	39-6	James Turner D Brace	5	68.5kg	126 125/1
