Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber Of Commerce Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Stepover^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 118| CD

6/4

C&D winner just under a year ago off a 10lb lower mark who has since scored again off a mark of 113 at Worcester returning from a break. That success left her on a career-high mark though and she was pulled up amiss when last seen at Bangor.

Form: 21-241P

Admiral's Sunset¹¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: D Weston| OR: 110

9/4

Useful on the Flat (with Hughie Morrison) and won at Bath (1m5f) off a mark of 74. Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind through her novice runs and returns from a break to make her handicap debut off a reasonable mark.

Form: 5435

Hope's Wishes⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Cobden| T: F Brennan| OR: 97| D

15/8

Four-time winning hurdler off higher marks than this in the past but does look to have lost her way slightly; turned in a very lacklustre display when last seen over fences. Would have a chance on her last hurdles run but does have a little to prove.

Form: 4626-44

Forecasts

Stepover (6/4), Love Lane (7/4), Hope's Wishes (15/8), Admiral's Sunset (9/4)

Not an easy contest to weigh up with all of the quartet having some sort of chance although the most interesting looks to be the handicap debutante ADMIRAL'S SUNSET off what looks to be a workable mark of 110. Hope’s Wishes is well handicapped on her old form having been chasing when last seen but she can be a little quirky at times. Love Lane will appreciate this return to 2m but the ground may be a little quick and her mark remains a stiff one. Stepover is another that looks to have to cope with a stiff mark now and she was pulled up last time quite sharply at Bangor.
