Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 2m
Gold Cast
Expensive ex-French recruit GOLD CAST could be worth another chance with sights considerably lowered. The market should offer plenty of clues regarding the Dan Skelton duo, while Shutthefrontdoor isn't discounted if all is well following her fall on hurdle debut.

Narrowly denied a fairly useful sort when opening her account at third time of asking at Auteuil in May, but having changed hands for €300,000, ran no sort of race in listed juvenile at Newbury on stable debut in November. Could be the one to beat if back on song following 3-month break.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/12Auteuil2m 1f 88yVery softHurdle1/9Auteuil1m 6f 201yVery softHurdle4/9Auteuil1m 6f 201yVery softHurdle9/11- 1Burning EmbersJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan Skelton6Age 57/23/110/3

€35,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam (c107/h107) bumper/2m-2½m hurdle winner. Showed ability/inexperience when sixth in 9-runner bumper on debut at Ascot last month and likely she'll better suited to hurdling.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper6/9- 6ShutfrontdoorJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore12FAge 55/15/19/2

Outspeeded a subsequent winner when successful on bumper debut at Fontwell (good) but looked held (on softer ground than previously faced) when falling 2 out on hurdle debut at Fontwell (5/2) in December. Has been given time to get over that, though.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFontwell Park2m 3f 29yHeavy (Soft in places)HurdleF/5Market Rasen2m 125yGoodBumper2/5Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/9- 5Molten SeaJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Fergal O'Brien5Age 511/26/113/2

Fairly useful Flat winner (stays 16.5f) for William Haggas (sold 20,000 gns) and showed an aptitude for hurdling on return from 4 months off when 22/1 fifth in 13-runner maiden at Hereford. That probably wasn't a strong race, but she still needs considering given what she achieved on the level.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 53ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle5/13York2m 56yGoodFlat10/16Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat8/9York2m 56yGood to SoftFlat6/12Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat2/8- 3Jollie DameJ: Liam HarrisonT: Dan Skelton243Age 511/111/110/1

6-figure buy as a store and though yet to build on promising bumper debut behind useful sort, she may do better now sent hurdling by top yard (also saddle Burning Embers).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2mSoftBumper3/8Market Rasen2m 125yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper4/9Warwick2mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper2/13- 4Lady IrisJ: Freddie GordonT: Chris Gordon82Age 511/19/110/1

Well beaten sole start in France but offered something to work with on stable debut/reappearance when distant runner-up behind The Mondo Man at Plumpton.
