SEVENTH RACE 5.05

ABOUT TWO MILES (2M) FOR MAIDEN FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE FBC MANBY BOWDLER MAIDEN HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (ARC Summer Novices’ Brush Hurdle Qualifier) (DIV II) (GBB RACE)

Total prize fund £8000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3338, 2nd £1670, 3rd £834, 4th £418. (Penalty Value £4356.80)

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Mulholland (24 wins from 175 runners, 14%) runs EMANATE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D McCain (4 wins from 16 runners, 25%) runs THEATRICAL LIGHT LONGEST TRAVELLER: SATONO JAPAN trained by A West, Epsom, 122 miles.

Most of these come with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for HARRY GULLIVER to build on his Chepstow debut fifth and open his account. Taunton-fourth Emanate could also take a step forward and rates the chief threat ahead of hurdlingdebutante Theatrical Light, who returns after breathing surgery.
