Newton Abbot Race 1 - British Stallion Studs Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TRIGG (1) First run back from a break. Despite getting tired late still grabbed 3rd beaten by almost 14L last run in a hurdle at Perth and solid career start. Top prospects against this opposition. MECENE (6) First up after a 31 week break. Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of 6L last run in a hurdle at Taunton and good career start. Looks suited and must be respected. HORETHORNE (4) First up after 22 weeks and rattled home nicely into 3rd first up last preparation at Exeter. Cracking each way value. DANZA KUDURO (2) First run back from a break of 26 weeks. Weakened under pressure when 4th last start at Exeter but was on debut last time. Expecting to settle positively. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Back from a break. Overrun late when 3rd beaten by close to 14L last run in a hurdle at Perth and showing consistent performance in races. Like to be on it today.

First up from a 26 week break. Jumped at $7.00 and gave away some ground when 4th last start at Exeter but was a debutant last start. Take on trust.

Back after a 30 week break. Was $41.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start in a hurdle at Hereford but fitter for debut run. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Fresh after a 31 week break. Led throughout to win by 6L last run in a hurdle at Taunton and putting a tidy record together so far. Holds a major chance.

Racing fresh after a 33 week spell. Odds of $6.50 and didn't find the line when 9th last time at Hereford but having second race start. Needs to find a lot more.

At $301.00 disappointing effort when 9th last start in a hurdle at Worcester. Should muster plenty of early toe. Prefer in something easier.
