Hereford Race 7 - Wye Valley Metals Open Maiden NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
MY MATE AJ (5) First up from a spell. Struggled when 4th last start at Lingfield. Is capable of a resurgence and will find this grade easier. Likely to be well placed early. Appears as a winning threat. OYKEL BRIDGE (6) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by just over 8L last time at Haydock and going down in class. Has the ability to figure. HERCULES HONOUR (2) Initial race appearance 5yo by Jack Hobbs for Jonjo Oneill & A J Oneill. Interesting gear change of tongue tie on first time. Watch betting. SKY GROVE (7) 5yo first starter by Order Of St George for trainer Laura Horsfall. Interesting gear change of ear muffs on first time. Watch early betting.

Ear muffs go on for the first time and having second career run. Rian Corcoran provides some weight relief and taking on easier opposition. Will need everything to go right.

At $67.00 ran 7th last run at Taunton but was a debutant last start. Facing a weaker group of contenders. Will be a difficult test.

Was $26.00 and chased well when 5th last time at Southwell and having second race start. Gets back and needs luck. Ned Fox provides some weight relief. This won't be easy.

Racing fresh after a break. Was $2.75 and not competitive when 4th last start at Lingfield. Is capable of a resurgence and back in an easier grade. Holds a major chance.

Ran on when 3rd beaten by more than 8L last time at Haydock and facing less formidable opponents. Has definite claims.

Odds of $9.00 and came in 6th last time at Huntingdon but fitter for debut run. Facing a weaker grade. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Odds of $67.00 and was nothing special when 7th last run at Stratford but fitter for debut run. Challenged by less formidable competitors. Not interested today.
