Racing To School Fillies' Juvenile Hurdle

Off time: 13:21 | Winning time: 3m 56.98s

Alohamora⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J Nash

13/2

10-race maiden on the Flat in Ireland (rated 49 on turf) and made the frame just once (1m4f, yielding). Some stamina in her pedigree and although she has shown little, she may be worth a market check given the lack of strength in opposition.

Form:

Hazy Manor^h1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: Julia Brooke

66/1

Most recently been campaigned over 1m3f on the Flat/AW, so stamina should be fine for this trip over hurdles. Well held on sole hurdles run at Fakenham in November and hood needs to have a significant effect to see her involved.

Form: 4

Sin Sin¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: N J Hawke| OR: 102

15/8

Made the frame in 4-7 at up to 1m4f on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger (rated 70 at best). Yet to reproduce anything similar in two hurdles runs, but still shown promise in the context of this race and has frame claims again.

Form: 43

Spirit Of Rome¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: H Whittington| OR: 110

1/1

Has made a promising start to her hurdling career, being a 4L second at Fontwell (2m1½f, soft) and not far off that form in a Hereford maiden last time. Should be competitive if reproducing either effort and can go close if improving.

Form: 23

Tael O' Gold^t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: L Egerton

125/1

Has made the frame just once from 15 attempts on the Flat, that being over 1m. Rated just 34 now in that sphere and looks up against it on hurdles debut with stamina also a significant concern.

Form:

The Lady Rules⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 97

9/1

Has made the frame on her last two starts over hurdles. Those were for Mark Walford and she now debuts for this trainer, with improvement needed even to win a modest contest such as this.

Form: 5433

Forecasts

Spirit Of Rome (1/1), Sin Sin (15/8), Shine Baby Shine (5/2), Alohamora (13/2), The Lady Rules (9/1), Hazy Manor (66/1), Tael O' Gold (125/1)

Moderate fayre in prospect here and the locally-trained SHINE BABY SHINE, who stays well and made an encouraging hurdles debut here last month, is given the vote. Spirit Of Rome looks a potential threat, as would be the case with Sin Sin is she can repeat her best effort. The Lady Rules looks next best.
