Hereford Race 2 - Paul Fergusons Jumpers To Follow Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
GOVERNORS ROCK (1) should have little trouble landing the odds in this modest event. Already a three-time winner scoring by 9L making hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (3200m) two back. Found a G2 at Cheltenham too much latest and this is far more realistic. JAUNTY TROOPER (3) managed to step up on each start in national hunt flat races. Emerged a 1.25L second at Worcester (3200m) in September and could make a solid start over obstacles here. MOSCOW STAR (5) was able to keep on for second beaten 1.5L reappearing at Sedgefield (3400m) twenty five days ago. Enters calculations. Jumpers flat winner THETYPE ISTITLE (12) recently joined the Tom Lacey yard. Place possibilities.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming won by 9 len Uttoxeter on October 4 over 3200m defeating Venezuelan carrying 71.5kg at $1.70 in a hurdle. Second-up finished ninth of 10 runners at Cheltenham in the G2 Sharp Novices' Hurdle on October 23 over 3200m, 13 len behind Kingofthefrontier with 71kg at $23. Fitter now and making headway every start. Has the ability and looks hard to top on best.

Previously second-up finished fifth of 8 starters at Doncaster on February 28 over 3300m, on slow going 21 len behind Friendly Glance with 71kg at $34. Can improve on first up performance. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Returning from a spell making her jumps debut. She ended last campaign with finished fourth of 8 runners at Newton Abbot on May 14 2025 over 3400m, 13 len behind Takeonedayatatime with 68.5kg at $8.50 and before that came from midfield; finished second in a small field at Taunton on April 23 2025 over 3300m, 6 len behind Bob Bishop with 68kg at $7. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of her career.

Comes off a 53 day let-up. Last run made some head-way from midfield; finished third in a small field at Plumpton on September 20 over 4100m, 14 len behind One Dimensional carrying 67kg at $41. Start before came from midfield; finished ninth of 10 runners at Worcester on August 23 over 3200m, 21 len behind I've Got A Friend carrying 66kg at $8.50. Rates well. Likely to play a major role.
