Tom Malone Bloodstock Agent Mares' Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:45 | Winning time: 3m 52.30s

Aimee De Sivola²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Lizzie Kelly⁽³⁾| T: Nick Williams| BF

9/4

Bumper winner who ran well in a Listed event at Market Rasen in January. Interesting recruit to hurdles and should do well in this sphere.

Form: 4124-

Annie Bonny²²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

10/1

Winner of sole Irish point and purchased by connections for £30,000 at the Ascot sales in March. Type to do well in this sphere and market check very much needed.

Form: 1-

Etamine Du Cochet³⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D SkeltonWS

4/5

Ran a cracker on debut at Warwick when last seen almost twelve months ago. Not been seen since and has had a wind operation but clearly has ability and will be a danger if fit and well.

Form: 2-

Firmage Burg^h¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B J Geraghty| T: H Fry

5/1

Much improved effort on second start over hurdles when a close third at Worcester back in July. Player if able to build on that now.

Form: 63

Our Dot's Baby²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

25/1

Winner of an Irish point last November but jumping issues have surfaced in that sphere since. Starts life for a new yard today and makes rules debut but type to do well in this sphere.

Form: 41UF-

Pennant Legend^t1⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

100/1

Well held in all four starts in bumpers and will need to take a huge step forward now on first start over timber. Tongue-tie goes on.

Form: 40-75

Petronella Manners¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁷⁾| T: H D Daly| OR: 116

10/1

Best effort so far when second of 16 at Huntingdon in March. Bombed out at Cheltenham next time but sets the standard and sound claims.

Form: 06B520-

Pot De Fleur⁷⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Christian Williams

100/1

Very cheap purchase at just £600 back in march 2017. Well held in sole bumper run and likely to be up against it here.

Form: P/

Storm Patrol¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss S Smith

16/1

Promising efforts in two of three bumpers (disappointed in Aintree Grade 2). Jumping errors have been an issue on first two starts over hurdles and needs to do much more.

Form: 202/06-

This Lovely Lady⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Tim Vaughan

50/1

Not been with this yard very long but has been tailed off on both starts over hurdles so far. Likely that handicaps will be more suitable after this.

Form: 42465

Time For Champers^h²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 76

66/1

Clearly has her own way of doing things as she threw away a winning opportunity at Towcester two starts back when hanging badly. Off the track for over a year and then refused to race at Uttoxeter two days ago. Comes with risks attached.

Form: 5PP6/2-R

Forecasts

Etamine Du Cochet (4/5), Aimee De Sivola (9/4), Firmage Burg (5/1), Annie Bonny (10/1), Petronella Manners (10/1), Storm Patrol (16/1), Our Dot's Baby (25/1), This Lovely Lady (50/1), Time For Champers (66/1), Pennant Legend (100/1), Pot De Fleur (100/1)

Annie Bonny is an interesting recruit to this sphere and a market check is needed. ETAMINE DU COCHET ran a cracker on her hurdles debut last year and will be tough to beat if able to reproduce that after almost a year off. Aimee De Sivola had some decent bumper form and is also respected.
