Newbury Race 4 - Grosvenor Sport Extra Places Every Day British Ebf Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
THAT'S NICE (2) could bounce back to winning ways after dropping out tamely when a warm order for a novice hurdle at Cheltenham 27 days ago. The mare created a big impression to make a successful hurdling debut at Warwick during November and should appreciate going back up in distance. It is tough to ignore the unexposed STAR WALKING (1) who relished the step up in trip when narrowly prevailing in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last month. The runner-up that day GAME COLOURS (4) is better off at the weights and cannot be ignored. EL FABIENNE (3) warrants consideration.

Resuming after a 14 months break. Not seen since winning won by 2.5 len Lingstown P2p 4yo P2P MDN November 26 2023 over 4800m slow track defeating Whatmakes Honey B with 60kg. First ever race start didn't finish the race at Dromahane P2p 4yo P2P MDN November 12 2023 over 4800m. Interesting runner.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At very big odds at debut, finished tenth of 12 starters at Ffos Las 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on November 10 over 3200m, 32 len behind Highland Haven with 71kg at $29. Second-up finished fifth of 11 starters at Southwell 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on December 16 over 4090m, 18 len behind Jakana with 71kg at $151. Prepared to risk again.
