Bangor-on-Dee

TodayMay 17, 2025HurdleClass 42mGood

OLD BRIDGE showed enough in 2 hurdles starts for Gordon Elliott to suggest he can take this ordinary contest on stable debut, in receipt of a useful looking 4-y-o weight allowance. Main danger Blackwater Lilly has run with credit in a couple of maiden/novice hurdles and could have a big say in first-time cheekpieces. Of the rest, point runner-up City of Diamonds may step forward from his Rules debut now sent hurdling.

    Verdict
    Twice a runner-up in bumpers and showed improvement when filling the same position on hurdles debut at Newcastle (16.2f) in November. Bounced back to that sort of form (after 4 months off) when third in a Hexham novice (16.2f) last month. Cheekpieces added and merits consideration in this company.

    Verdict
    Showed steady improvement for Gordon Elliott, placing on both hurdle starts, latest when third in a 14-runner novice at Kilbeggan (16f) last month. This looks a good opportunity on stable debut. Strong claims in receipt of handy 4-y-o weight allowance.

    Verdict
    From the family of useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 19f) King of The Picts. Runner-up only outing in Irish points (Mar 2024). Not persevered with once held on first start under Rules (well held in a Newcastle bumper) and could yet have more to offer on hurdling debut.

    Verdict
    Well-bred sort commanded £15,000 after winning an Irish point in January but was well beaten (took strong hold) on Rules debut in a bumper in March having been notably weak in the betting. Hood added for hurdles debut and jockey bookings suggest she's the stable second string.

    Verdict
    Has looked limited on three starts in bumpers, faring no better in blinkers (retained) last time. Significant improvement needed now sent hurdling.

    Verdict
    Bred more for the Flat and found it all too much on debut for Paul John Gilligan when last in a bumper at Leopardstown in December. Plenty to prove making stable/hurdles debut following 16 months off.

    Verdict
    Telescope mare has offered little in 2 starts, most recently when pulled-up on hurdles debut at this course (19.6f) 23 days ago. Back in trip but hard to fancy on what she's shown so far.
