M J Roofing Mares' Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 5m 11.20s

Outofthisworld³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

5/6

Bumper winner who unseated rider on hurdling debut, but made amends in good style at Market Rasen last month. Clear chance on that form, but may be vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 1/0-U1

Amethea¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling

25/1

Well beaten on both starts over hurdles. Stable going quite well and may be capable of better this time.

Form: 9976

Elska²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽⁷⁾| T: R Bandey

100/1

Disappointing in point-to-points and only limited promise on bumper debut at Southwell. Best watched as she makes her hurdling debut.

Form: P/PUP-7

Eos¹⁴

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

100/1

Irish import who was tailed off on jumping/stable debut at LIngfield. Hard to make a case for until showing more.

Form: 09

Glens County

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland

25/1

Court Cave mare who is from the family of useful hurdler/chaser Dursey Sound. Represents a respected yard and is worth a market check on debut.

Form:

Madam Anna¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L C Jewell

50/1

Bumper winner at Plumpton last year, but has failed to kick on from that success in similar contests. May fare better now she is hurdling and is not one to rule out completely.

Form: 159-0

Midnightreferendum⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

6/4

Showed a high level of ability in bumpers and may have needed her first start over hurdles in a hot mares' race at Chepstow. Should be wiser this time and holds strong claims.

Form: 312-7

Pardon Me¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins

9/2

Signs of ability in bumpers and fair second of 11, albeit beaten 15L, on her jumping debut at Uttoxeter. Should improve and has an each-way chance.

Form: 33-962

Presenting Lucina²³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

Little sign of ability in three starts over hurdles. Stable also runs Glen County, who looks the stronger on paper.

Form: 63446/6-

That's Exactly²⁰¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: L P Aspell| T: N Dunger

100/1

Daughter of Bach who is a half-sister to a bumper winner. Jumping debut at the age of nine and can only be watched.

Form: 56/

Forecasts

Outofthisworld (5/6), Midnightreferendum (6/4), Pardon Me (9/2), Amethea (25/1), Glens County (25/1), Madam Anna (50/1), Presenting Lucina (50/1), Elska (100/1), Eos (100/1), That's Exactly (100/1)

Lines can be ruled through a few of these, but Market Rasen winner Outofthisworld will have her supporters despite her penalty, Pardon Me can build on her Uttoxeter debut and Glens County is a well-bred newcomer. However, the one who makes most appeal is MIDNIGHTREFERENDUM, who showed plenty of ability in bumpers and will be wiser for her hurdling debut in a hot mares' novice hurdle at Chepstow.
