Stonepack Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Dunsy Rock (M) Built on debut promise to land 15-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m) in February. Strong at the finish there so this Poet's Word mare is the one to beat stepping back up in trip.	41/50-	H Cobden G Elliott	5	73kg	3 2/1
5th	2	—	Aristelle (M) P Fair form shown when third in a Carlisle bumper in December but she came in a well-held eighth on her hurdling debut at Carlisle (19f) 19 days ago.	7388	Leah Noreci James Moffatt	5	69.9kg	126 125/1
—	3	—	Bracing Brook (M) Pulled Up Offered little when pulled up in novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) on her debut in November. Lots more is required.	PP-	Dominic Hislop C Bissett	7	69.9kg	251 250/1
2nd	4	—	Frankies Fortune (M) Soldier of Fortune mare won an Irish point but only modest form shown since in a pair of bumpers at Carlisle before Christmas. Hurdling debutante.	1/592-	Alan Doyle L Russell & M Scudamore	6	69.9kg	17 16/1
4th	5	—	Oor Wish (M) Has hinted at promise in 3 bumpers, a patiently-ridden sixth at Kelso last month. Goes over hurdles now.	4464-	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	6	69.9kg	23 22/1
—	6	—	Sagonige (M) Bumper winner on her debut in 2023/24 but well held in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles at Ayr and Kelso this season after a near 2-year absence.	12/68	Jamie Hamilton Ruth Jefferson	7	69.9kg	34 33/1
1st	7	—	Viscountess Nelson (M) FAV Won sole start in points and she shaped well on her hurdling bow when second of 8 in novice at Plumpton (21f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Seems sure to progress for leading yard.	1/421-2	James Bowen N J Henderson	6	69.9kg	1.44 4/9
3rd	8	—	Celtic Alliance (F) Order of St George filly who made a winning start in 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Clonmel recently. Capable of building on it and a likely player. Stablemate of Dunsy Rock.	1	S Bowen G Elliott	4	68.5kg	2.75 7/4
—	9	—	Quinnfinity (F) Pulled Up €6,000 3-y-o, Jet Away filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Lone Wolf and bumper winner/fair hurdler Love At Sea. Dam dual winning pointer. The market can guide for this newcomer.	P-P8	Toby Wynne R M Smith	4	65.3kg	151 150/1
