Porto Racing Saddlery Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 20:14 | Winning time: 5m 13.6s

Indian Native^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 101| D

8/1

Fourth to smart Mister Whitaker over fences last season, but let down by jumping on return to action, and again made mistakes when reverting to hurdles at Ludlow. Midfield effort here latest still short of the required level.

Form: 3P2/676-

Lady Marwah²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore| OR: 100

8/1

Placed bumper performer showed some potential in three hurdle races to date with third at Chepstow latest another promising effort. Not set an impossible task for handicap debut.

Form: 49/3443-

Chasma^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 99| BF| CD

7/2

Comes here in great form after chase wins at Newcastle (2m4f) and Sedgefield (2m5f). Up 7lb for latest win she finished third back at Sedgefield but now reverts to hurdles where her 10lb lower mark makes her a major threat to all.

Form: 753113-

Uisce Ur³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 98

11/4

Midfield stable bow after two years off before remarkable 33/1 win at Wetherby last time out over 3m. Up 7lb and back 4f in trip here but clearly could be an improved sort now.

Form: 43P7/71-

She's Gina^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 97

11/1

Won a small race at Warwick last summer but it's been all downhill since and she now finds herself 10lb lower than that victory. Eased in grade latest she was pulled up before two out so again hard to fancy here.

Form: 49466P-

Oksana^t²⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 96

5/1

Placed just once over hurdles (a distant third here in June). Beaten a long way out in four starts since so hard to be optimistic here especially after eight months off.

Form: 5/36797-

Wondergirl²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Price⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 89

16/1

Former German trained flat maiden ran her best race to date latest albeit beaten 41L when third of eight at Ludlow. Step up in trip for handicap bow ought to help and hoping she can give a good account.

Form: 873-

Rococo Style^p⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: S Gollings| OR: 88| C

12/1

Course bumper winner (good) on debut in September 2017; perfectly fair to say that she's proved bitterly disappointing since (mainly at 2m4f over hurdles); handicap mark on the slide but for good reason.

Form: 3U3055-

Trysor Ynys^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 84

25/1

Three-figure prices in trio of novice/maiden hurdle starts and showed little but slightly improved latest at Ludlow when fifth (Wondergirl third). Still better watched on handicap bow.

Form: 0P/005-

Ridgeway Pearl⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 73

66/1

Seven-race unplaced maiden was basically tailed off latest when switched to a handicap and is again easy to pass over here.

Form: 9/87U79-

Forecasts

Uisce Ur (11/4), Chasma (7/2), Oksana (5/1), Indian Native (8/1), Lady Marwah (8/1), She's Gina (11/1), Rococo Style (12/1), Wondergirl (16/1), Trysor Ynys (25/1), Ridgeway Pearl (66/1)

CHASMA has been in good order over fences and with the handicapper now perhaps catching up with her progress over the larger obstacles reverting to hurdles where she's rated 10lb lower can prove a shrewd move by Mick Easterby. Handicap debutant Lady Marwah has shown enough to suggest this opening mark should be about right so she is respected as is recent shock winner Uisce Ur.
