Worcester Race 5 - Bepartofit Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
ROMANY BROWN (1) rates highly in view of a yard switch following a 0.5L success over 3400m at Killarney. Selected to maintain solid form making British debut. NOBLE MISS (9) returns after seven months and likely to improve following a 9L third on second start in a 3200m Huntingdon jumpers flat. Not discounted. DYNAMITE DEFENSE (4) goes jumping for the first time. Holds claims representing the in-form Olly Murphy yard. SQUIRE DANAGHER (3) cannot be discounted.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming finished fourth of 14 starters at Kilbeggan on April 24 over 3100m, 5 len behind Fillyoureye with 73kg at $3.80. Second-up won by 0.5 len Killarney on May 11 over 3400m defeating Wholelotofbusiness with 71.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Hard to beat in this rich vain of form.

Last outing ran last in a small field at Fontwell Park on May 15 over 3600m, 21 len behind Rocks Up Late carrying 64.5kg at $5. Before that won by 8 len Stratford-On-Avon on May 8 over 3400m defeating My Virtue carrying 64.5kg at $5 in a steeplechase. This appears outside her grasp. Prefer to see her back in form before considering.
