Newcastle Race 6 - Betmgm Ebf 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
BLACKWATER LILLY (9) showed promise in a trio of jumpers flat races and she would not need to improve much to be a serious contender making hurdle debut. JEUNE PRINCE (4) could go close if building on a good initial hurdle outing fourth behind some useful performers at Carlisle last month. WENDYWILLDO (10) won a Sedgefield jumpers flat in March and cannot be ignored as a hurdling debutante. GORVENNEC (3) also merits consideration.

Racing second-up today. Last start finished sixth of 10 starters at Hexham 4yo+ MHDLE APP (C4) on November 8 over 4000m, 50 len behind Chasingouttheblues carrying 71kg at $17. At only start last preparation finished sixth of 11 starters at Ayr 4-6yo HUNT FLAT (C2) on April 20 over 3200m, on slow going 13 len behind Jazz De Cotte carrying 67.5kg at $101. Fitter but hard to recommend on last couple.
