Bangor On Dee Race 1 - North Wales Business Day Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
HOE JOLY SMOKE (1) Racing fresh today after a break. Did well when 2nd last start in a chase at Newton Abbot but down in trip. Hard to see anything getting past this today. IAMYOUARE (3) Nice run when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a break. Has good closing speed. Winning appeal. SOVEREIGNLIGHTCAFE (2) First up from a break of 35 weeks and rattled home nicely into 3rd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Sedgefield. Winning chance in this line up. THAT OLD CHESTNUT (4) Fresh from a 111 week spell. Average performance when 10th last time at Downpatrick but will appreciate the drop in weight. Racing for a new trainer. Could surprise.

Back from a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start in a chase at Newton Abbot but coming back in trip. Harry Skelton is an advantage. Strong contender.

First up from a break of 35 weeks and finished strongly when 3rd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Sedgefield. Looks threatening.

Ran well when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Jockey Harry Brown is in form. Always seems to find the line well. Going well this preparation. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Back from a 111 week spell. Was $41.00 and clearly outclassed when 10th last time at Downpatrick but suited by the weight drop. First appearance for a new trainer. Looking elsewhere.

Was $301.00 and subpar when 13th last run in a hurdle at Worcester but goes down in weight. Should be going forward early. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
