Warwick Race 4 - Valley 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
COBBLER'S BOY (3) represents a leading yard. Produced a promising 3L second in a 3200m maiden hurdle two months ago at Southwell. Open to further progress and looks hard to beat. Irish point-to-point winner BIG BOY BARNEY (2) shaped well two weeks back managing a decent fourth in a 3200m jumpers flat event here. Can go close making hurdle debut. FOXY'S FRIEND (5) warrants a market check making first rules racecourse appearance. Might feature. BALLYMENA BOY (1) rates next best.

Resuming today after two months. Finished off last preparation 2 of 9 starters at Southwell March 3 over 3200m, 3 len behind Jack Hyde carrying 72kg at $6. First up last campaign 8 of 16 starters at Doncaster January 24 over 3300m, 15 len behind Storming George with 71kg at $3.80. Makes strong appeal.

Having third race start. First race start finished fourth in a small field at Hereford on November 12 over 3200m, 60 len behind D'jo Dela Barriere with 70kg at $11. Returned from break finished fifth in a small field at Ludlow on April 2 over 3200m, 52 len behind Mister Cessna carrying 70kg at $67. Not keen in today's line-up.

Five-year-old mare (Telescope - Whatdoesthefoxsay) making her debut. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
