Woodhurst Construction Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 6m 24.8s

How About It^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Mr J Smith-Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 102

7/1

Ffos Las (heavy) chase winner over 2m5f on final start for Rebecca Curtis but well held here in April (2m7½f, good) on debut for this trainer. Better on recent reappearance over timber and just 1lb above previous winning mark now.

Form: 64P17-5

Miss Mayfair^p⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 93| CD

13/8

Very easy winner at Plumpton on Monday over hurdles (3m1f, good to soft) in Class 5 company off a mark of 93. If she backs that up a 7lb penalty is unlikely to see her ambitions grounded in this moderate company.

Form: 422/241

Balkinstown^t,v¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 99

3/1

Just the one win from 22 over hurdles, at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July off a mark of 95. Ran well enough off short break at Chepstow this month over similar trip and gives impression he'll stay this far.

Form: 446143

Let's Tango^p1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case| OR: 96

11/2

Mostly limited ability shown over hurdles bar one solid outing on novice company at Wetherby (2m3½f, good) in March, back to type on reappearance last month at Chepstow and watching brief advised now with cheekpieces added.

Form: 08/663-0

Rare Legend^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 95

6/1

A 13-race maiden, the ten-year-old has twice finished second in six starts over fences in Ireland - both times over this sort of staying trip. Not exactly favoured on these terms, perhaps place money on the cards at best again back over flights.

Form: 2/3602-3

Landscape^t²³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Conor Shoemark| T: D Steele| OR: 90

25/1

Good effort to finish runner-up on heavy ground at Plumpton in February and ran well to be fourth at Kempton (2m5f, good) subsequently. Races off just a mark 1lb higher but it's nearly five years since he last tasted success.

Form: P8P324-

Golden Jet¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: C Hobson| OR: 85

50/1

Beaten out of sight in all three starts over hurdles so far (debut last month). Switches to handicaps now and requires a dramatic turnaround in fortune just to get competitive.

Form: PP-600

Forecasts

Miss Mayfair (13/8), Balkinstown (3/1), Let's Tango (11/2), Rare Legend (6/1), How About It (7/1), Landscape (25/1), Golden Jet (50/1)

If MISS MAYFAIR turns up here in the same mood as she was in at Plumpton on Monday, she'll take all manner of stopping. That was a career-best effort as she scored with any amount in hand and connections are attempting to strike again under her penalty before the handicapper intervenes. How About It and Balkinstown could take advantage if she isn't up to this while Rare Legend should run another honest race.
