Yorton Stud Conditional Jockeys' Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:12 | Winning time: 6m 16.6s

Chicago Lady²²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Jack Dinneen⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102

8/1

Form in novice hurdles in the spring was nothing special and she was well beaten on her first handicap start in April too. Drops in grade and it's early days, yard can never be ruled out here but a bit to prove at present.

Form: 2/6246-

The Toojumpa¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Humphries⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 100

3/1

Not disgraced in a couple of her novice hurdle starts and may have needed her recent Hereford run after a break. Potential to improve and soft ground wouldn't be an issue.

Form: 58455-0

Belmont Jewel²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: M Scudamore| OR: 98

6/1

Point-to-point winner last year but form under Rules looks very moderate so far. However, step into handicap company and step up in trip today offer her a more realistic chance and a drop of rain would help her chances too.

Form: 341/6-88

So Sorry Sarah^p,t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁸⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 97

5/1

Placed on her last two starts but in truth, has been well beaten both times and the form is nothing to write home about. Needs some improvement from somewhere and at the age of nine, hard to see where' that is coming from.

Form: 444/P32

Tennewrow³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 95

14/1

Not disgraced in a good novice hurdle at Huntingdon in March but her other efforts leave plenty to be desired. Goes into handicaps today though, and as a point-to-point winner, may do better over this trip too. Not discounted.

Form: 61/P0-P7

Solstice Twilight¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 91

5/2

Placed at Exeter in April but was still beaten 17l, and that is just about the highlight of her form to date. Early days yet, and with a good yard, so could do better but in truth has to.

Form: 78933-7

Celer Et Audax⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 84

7/1

Some reasonable bumper form, but was going nowhere until a length second in a better contest than this at Warwick in September. Didn't seem happy going right-handed last time so may be happier here. Chances if building on the Warwick effort.

Form: 0-P8946

How Much Is Enough³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Turner| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 66

50/1

Pulled up at big prices on her two most recent starts and looks of little ability at present. Others readily preferred.

Form: 82P/0PP

Forecasts

Solstice Twilight (5/2), The Toojumpa (3/1), So Sorry Sarah (5/1), Belmont Jewel (6/1), Celer Et Audax (7/1), Chicago Lady (8/1), Tennewrow (14/1), How Much Is Enough (50/1)

The step up in trip is likely to prove a plus point for the likes of Tennerow and Belmont Jewel, and market support for either would need to be taken seriously. Chicago Lady will have her supporters and The Toojumpa is a potential improver, but CELER ET AUDAX is given another chance to show her close fourth in better company than this at Warwick two starts ago was no fluke.
