Newbury Race 2 - Grosvenor Sport Win Rewards Every Day Ebf Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
LAUGHING JOHN (4) looks like an interesting prospect on paper and can make a winning debut. SHERMINATOR (6) commands respect with a top jockey booked for his hurdling debut following two promising efforts in jumpers flat events this season. STAR OF GUITING (1) made a winning start over hurdles at Exeter last time and cannot be ignored despite having to give weight away to the aforementioned pair. BLUE MOON LADY (3) also needs to be included after making a winning hurdling bow at Ludlow four weeks ago.

Encouraging debut won by 1.5 len Ludlow 3yo+ WFA HDLE HUNT (C4) on December 18 over 3170m defeating Ninna Collina carrying 70kg at $4.50 in a hurdle. Improvement likely on on first race start. Has upside and shouldn't be far away again.

Four-year-old gelding by Postponed out of Mystery Code has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Nice profile and expected to measure up.
