Edinburgh Gin Congratulations Lucinda Russell OBE Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 5m 54.90s

Impulsive American^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 121| C

5/1

Having his first run for two years when tailed off at Market Rasen (2m2½f, good) three weeks ago. Hard to know how much ability he retains but takes a further drop in grade and market support would be significant.

Form: 24374/0

Jack Devine^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 117| CD

11/4

Improved rapidly over hurdles the last twice. Won decisively on the back of a wind operation last time over C&D (good) and will be a danger to all off this 9lb higher mark with further progress highly likely.

Form: 15224-1

Buckled^p1²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 116| C| D

12/1

C&D winner who's form has tailed off somewhat of late. Still 2lb above last winning mark and cheekpieces are now added in an attempt to eek out a bit more.

Form: 216-667

Tangolan^p,t³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| CD

15/2

Winner twice here in back-to-back races over fences. Had a spell away in point to points before returning to this yard prior to tame effort over fences last time. Races off much reduced mark over hurdles and market check needed.

Form: 663-135

Baysbrown³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: R D Day⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 110| CD

12/1

C&D winner on good ground in September 2016 but had just four starts subsequently and unseated his rider three out on return here over C&D last month. More needed.

Form: 21256/U

Call Me¹²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L B Normile| OR: 102| D

16/1

Won an Irish point-to-point at the fifth attempt last year. Not shown a great deal over hurdles so far including on handicap debut last time and much more needed to be involved here.

Form: 3/1565P-

Pretty Miss Mahler^h1²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 101| C

14/1

Chasing hasn't really gone to plan of late and she is interesting base on her hurdles form from last year. Ground is no problem and hood goes on. Not easily dismissed.

Form: 1332-F5

Reivers Lodge^h,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: James Corbett⁽⁵⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 101

9/1

Has slowly been coming to hand and stayed on well to be second over C&D (good) three weeks ago. Nudged up 2lb for that but will be a player once again in this field.

Form: 4054-S2

Shipwreck⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: C A McBratney| OR: 100

3/1

Much improved effort when bolting up at Downpatrick last week. Will be a danger to all if in the same mood here despite the penalty. Entered on Friday evening too.

Form: 5000-61

Maraweh^p³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 96| CD

25/1

C&D winner who is capable on a going day but you are never quite sure which Maraweh you are going to get. Chance on his best form but needs to buck his ideas up in this field.

Form: 95P42-8

Forecasts

Jack Devine (11/4), Shipwreck (3/1), Impulsive American (5/1), Tangolan (15/2), Reivers Lodge (9/1), Third Estate (10/1), Buckled (12/1), Baysbrown (12/1), Pretty Miss Mahler (14/1), Call Me (16/1), Maraweh (25/1)

JACK DEVINE has improved with each start over hurdles and duly bolted up over C&D last time. The penalty makes life tougher but he looks progressive and can win again. Shipwreck will be a danger to all if turning up here after her demolition job last time. Reivers Lodge shaped with promise last time and is best of the rest.
