starsports.bet Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 15:01 | Winning time: 5m 6.35s

Aimee De Sivola¹⁹

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

15/8

In the frame in Listed bumpers at Market Rasen and Sandown early in the year. Jumping has been a little bit sketchy in two starts so far over hurdles and better is expected.

Form: 4124-45

Amethea²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

28/1

Well held in two bumpers and beaten a long way on hurdling debut at Plumpton. Lots more needed to be involved here.

Form: 997

Duhallow Gesture¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball

1/2

Shaped well in some smart bumpers and ran a cracker on hurdling debut at Newbury behind a couple of smart sorts. Sets a clear standard and should be a major player.

Form: P1/113-3

Eos¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell

66/1

Filly by Martaline out of a Robin Des Pres mare. Closely related to Petit Robin, Marodima and recent Worcester winner Robin Des Mana. Tailed off on sole bumper run in July and needs lots more now hurdling.

Form: 0

Impulsive Leader^h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison

50/1

Unable to win in point-to-points, a bumper or a hurdle in Ireland and was bought by this trainer for £5,000 in May. Tailed off on hurdling debut here over this C&D and more needed.

Form: 3265-06

London Grammar²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: R J Smith

66/1

Average flat performer who has been tailed off in both starts over hurdles so far. Best watched for now until tackling handicaps.

Form: 60

No Trumps

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon

12/1

Interesting recruit for this yard. Filly by Black Sam Bellamy. Half-sister to bumper winner Side Step. Dam was placed in her only bumper start. Market should be a good guide on rules debut.

Form:

Spendable⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: P York

100/1

Sent off big prices on all starts under rules and has been beaten a long way in two starts over hurdles. Impossible to recommend.

Form: 454897

The White Mouse²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham

14/1

Cost €6,200 as a yearling and €50,000 at three. Well held on sole bumper run in the spring. Bred for a trip so this looks a good starting point over hurdles.

Form: 9-

We'llcwhathappens²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe

10/1

Ran well on hurdling debut at Plumpton three weeks ago but jumped slowly at times. Should come on for that and will be a player if jumping improves.

Form: 1-3

Non-Runners

Rosy World²³⁴

Forecasts

Duhallow Gesture (1/2), Aimee De Sivola (15/8), Rosy World (6/1), We'llcwhathappens (10/1), No Trumps (12/1), The White Mouse (14/1), Amethea (28/1), Impulsive Leader (50/1), Eos (66/1), London Grammar (66/1), Spendable (100/1)

This looks a good opportunity for DUHALLOW GESTURE to get off the mark over hurdles having shown a good level of from to date. This is her easiest task so far and should take some beating. Rosy World should make into a hurdler and is respected whilst No Trumps is an interesting newcomer for Charlie Longsdon.
