Southwell Race 5 - Easter Sunday Family Fun Day Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
HILLBERRY HILL (1) was successful providing his final start in Ireland when winning a maiden hurdle for Margaret Mullins. Since joined the Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls stable and is expected to take beating on stable debut. THE FLIER BEGLEY (4) continues without a win when hurdling. Did succeed twice tackling fences last spring. Reverts to hurdles after some disappointing fences outings and rates as the main danger. SEA OF FORTUNE (3) disappointed providing his only start in a jumpers flat event at Chepstow. Was always going to be seen to better effect with jumping. Watching brief. DANGER NAP (2) is on a comeback and best overlooked.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 60 days. Resumed from a spell and was pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster. At only start last preparation finished sixth of 7 starters at Aintree on October 26 over 4000m, 32 len behind Marsiac with 71kg at $23. Worth another chance and comes into calculations.

Freshened for 34 days. Last outing finished fourth of 14 starters at this track on February 18 over 4090m, slow track; 26 len behind Blue Run with 69.5kg at $151. Before that pulled up at Leicester on January 20 over 4100m. Tough assignment here. Confidence looks to be down.
