7bets4free.com Fixed Brush Hurdle Series Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 15:55 | Winning time: 4m 55.34s

Bean Liath²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams

40/1

Point-to-point winner but two efforts over hurdles so far have left plenty to be desired, and there's every chance she'll be better for fences in time.

Form: 3P/1P35-

Belle En Noir^t⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Poste| T: Steph Hollinshead

100/1

Hasn't landed a blow in three bumpers and a novice hurdle, and seems to have little chance against some rivals in much better form.

Form: 6/575-

Everlanes^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball

7/2

Makes her debut over obstacles here on her second start after wind surgery. Did win one of her three bumpers and could improve for the switch to hurdles.

Form: 154-

Fair Alice

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J M Ridley⁽⁷⁾| T: M S Wilesmith

100/1

Fair Mix mare, the first foal of a mare who won a point-to-point, but not a positive that she makes her debut as a nine-year-old for a trainer who has never had a winner under rules.

Form:

Kayf Storm⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

12/1

Didn't look a particularly exciting prospect in two runs in bumpers, and others hold more convincing claims now she makes her debut over obstacles.

Form: 49-

Mac Bella¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102

9/1

Was conceding weight to Peggies Ventures when not too far behind that reopposing rival last time out. Had previously run fairly well in maidens and every chance that this is a weaker affair.

Form: F/F3444-

Peggies Venture⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 114

4/5

Two time bumper winner and though she's 0-7 over hurdles so far this is significantly easier than the Haydock handicap hurdle she contested last time out and she should run very well.

Form: 4/22230-

Rose Of Cimarron¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex

8/1

Uttoxeter bumper winner who hasn't been able to step up on that since being sent over hurdles. Difficult to see her improving on those runs to get involved here.

Form: 51878-

Lady Maleficent⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/1

Showed improvement on her second start in a bumper last time out, but needs to take another step forward on hurdles debut in order to play a hand here.

Form: 85-

Forecasts

Peggies Venture (4/5), Everlanes (7/2), Rose Of Cimarron (8/1), Lady Maleficent (9/1), Mac Bella (9/1), Kayf Storm (12/1), Bean Liath (40/1), Belle En Noir (100/1), Fair Alice (100/1)

Peggies Venture is somewhat unlucky not to have gotten off the mark yet, but the fact she has to compete off level weights with MAC BELLA means that that opposing rival makes more appeal here. Not far behind the first-named in a Taunton handicap last time, back in maiden company she can reverse form in conditions which should suit. Bumper winner Everlanes could be next best.
