Ffos Las Race 2 - Mickey Bowen 51 Winners Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
FAIRYE FORTH (1) finished the season with a 1.25L second over course and distance and may go one better. His two runs under rules have been encouraging and looks good enough to strike at this level. GETAWAY VIC (2) is a leading contender off a 390-day break. This is a good starting point as did look extremely promising when winning two jumpers flats and if fit enough could have too much class. IDAHO FIRE (3) proved disappointing so far racing for Paul Nicholls. Holds potential and warrants a market check off a fifty day break. KIND INTENTION (4) was a 5.5L fourth in a jumpers flat here April 2025. Form worked out so he is feared.

Third-up today. Resuming pulled up at Ludlow on January 15 over 4200m. Second-up pulled up at Plumpton on March 16 over 4100m. Forward showing expected. Capable enough and cannot be discounted lightly.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 10 runners at this track on April 17 2025 over 3200m, 5.5 len behind The Blue Room carrying 67.5kg at $8.50 and before that finished fifth of 14 runners at Huntingdon on March 2 2025 over 3200m, 16 len behind Mydaddypaddy carrying 67.5kg at $15. Can run a big race while fresh. Worth including in this line-up.
