County Marquees Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:16 | Winning time: 5m 24.00s

Field Exhibition^h²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 116

10/1

Winner of a 3m handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (good) in February and put a below par effort over 2m1f behind her when 17L fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last time out. Likely more needed in this contest.

Lady Cylla⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: L P Aspell| T: T Lacey| OR: 117| BF

5/1

Slightly disappointing third in a soft ground 2m4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield last time out. Previously runner-up over 2m at Ludlow (good-to-soft) the previous month and shapes as if this trip will suit on handicap debut.

Lostnfound⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 108

6/1

Runner-up at Lingfield (2m, soft) in a handicap hurdle in February and a fair effort at Fontwell (soft) subsequently. Has to put a recent Ayr fall behind her if she is to take this contest.

Form: 52P25U

15/8

Returning from wind surgery when making a winning handicap debut over an extended 2m4f at Newcastle (good-to-soft) early last month. Raised 8lb for that victory and tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained.

Deja Bougg⁷¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Farrelly| OR: 105

16/1

Victorious in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) in May 2017. Changed yards since and market support would be notable on return from nearly two years off the track.

Form: 44P3F/1-

Get An Oscar⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 103

3/1

Bumper winner but struggled over hurdles in the main so far including when 44L fifth at Plumpton (3m1f, good-to-soft) on handicap debut in January. Worth a check in the market dropping in trip following a break.

Mac Bella²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 86

6/1

15 race maiden finished well held in a handicap hurdle over an extended 3m1f at Hereford (good) last time out. Others hold stronger claims racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Oriental Cross (15/8), Get An Oscar (3/1), Big Penny (3/1), Lady Cylla (5/1), Mac Bella (6/1), Lostnfound (6/1), Field Exhibition (10/1), Stephanie Sunshine (14/1), Deja Bougg (16/1)

LADY CYLLA represents a shrewd stable and she is taken to make a winning handicap debut on her first attempt at this trip. The selection should appreciate the forecast underfoot conditions and she can get the better of Stephanie Sunshine who is another stepping up in distance. Big Penny finished third last time out and she can fill the same position in this event.
