Faucets Introducing Intelligent Care From Rada Mares' Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 14:52 | Winning time: 4m 9.25s

Deadringerforlove³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry

13/8

Three starts so far, best run coming on debut here when fourth to Silver Forever, but worryingly was beaten further by that rival at Ascot last time. Will do better now seeing some hurdles and in a winnable event, has chances with a clear round.

Form: 448

Episode¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

13/2

Half-sister to 4 winners inc Demi Sang (2m-2m3f hurdle/chase) and useful chaser Commodore, a winner this season for Venetia Williams. Stuck to it to finish fourth on debut at Sandown and will improve. Place chances if doing so.

Form: 83-4

Fair Kate³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: T Lacey| BF

11/8

Half-sister to useful bumper/2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner Kateson, and one or two of the family loved it at Chepstow. She's already shown promise here when third in maiden hurdle here in January, a run that gives her a big chance today.

Form: 537

Free⁴⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball

9/2

Cost €125,00 at Arqana Sales back in 2017, related to a few winners and ought to be up to winning a race or two down the line. Market the best guide to her chance on debut today.

Form:

Keeping Faith⁹¹

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

33/1

Nice enough pedigree but hasn't shown a lot in two starts and needs this for a handicap mark, where she'll have a better chance of success.

Form: 09

Lady Carduros⁴⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

80/1

Shown next to nothing in three runs on the sand on the Flat and has little chance here, with stamina an issue too.

Form:

Leave My Alone¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs R Ford

25/1

Point-to-point winner in December and not totally disgraced on debut at Wincanton earlier in the month. Probably biting off a bit too much here but could still go well at a price.

Form: 7F16

Mylittlerunaway¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

66/1

Well beaten in a bumper and then unseated rider early at Fontwell last time. Has an unconvincing profile so far and best watched.

Form: 4U

Forecasts

Fair Kate (11/8), Deadringerforlove (13/8), Free (9/2), Episode (13/2), Leave My Alone (25/1), Keeping Faith (33/1), Mylittlerunaway (66/1), Lady Carduros (80/1)

Only a handful to concentrate on. FAIR KATE might be another from the family that reserves her best for Chepstow, as her run here in January is head and shoulders above her other two. A reproduction of that and she'll be hard to beat. The market will tell you all about the chances of Free, but both Episode and Deadringerforlove have shown promise already and should be involved come the business end. The more adventurous might consider Leave My Alone at a big each-way price.
