Court Reclamation & Salvage Scrap Metals Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 5m 49.10s

Our Rockstar¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 114

7/2

This mare went into her last race at Uttoxeter over the extended 2m7f trip looking to make it a hat-trick of wins but she had to settle for second place. She has gone up 7lb for her latest run but her jockey will take 5lb off today. One to consider.

Form: 73011-2

Coillte Eile¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 110

5/2

Some good form in Ireland, including her last start where she was second at Limerick (2m3f). First run for new yard and with interesting jockey booking, has to be on shortlist.

Form: 317562-

Legend Lady^h²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 108| C

4/1

Won at this course last month over 2m4f in what was her best run for two years. Gone up in trip once again and will go close if she has the stamina for this distance.

Form: 5/PU45-1

Glanvilles Guest²²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Cobden| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 106| C

7/1

Winner at Newton Abbot over the extended 2m5f trip last June. This is her first appearance since last October where she was disappointing at Wincanton. Opening run for new yard. One to watch.

Form: 1F2427-

Wasdell⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 105

20/1

Started his career with two promising runs over hurdles at Market Rasen but has shown nothing since then. Was pulled-up at Plumpton (2m4f) on opening run of the year. Needs to improve.

Form: 4380P-

Petronella Manners⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: H D Daly| OR: 104

33/1

Was second at Doncaster over the extended 2m3f trip back in January. He set the pace last time at Huntingdon (2m4f) but weakened inside the final three furlongs to finish a long way down the field. Others preferred,

Form: 0/77258-

Prophets Prayer¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: L P Aspell| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 101

12/1

Handicap debut for a horse who showed a lot of promise when scoring in a bumper at Southwell last October. This will be her fourth start over hurdles and more is needed.

Form: 4153-2

Get An Oscar^b,t1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100

5/1

Was second here eight days ago where she was 9L behind the winner but the same distance ahead of the rest of the field. A repeat of that run will see her go close again here.

Form: 90553-2

Outrageous Romana^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: J McGrath| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 90| CD

16/1

Won three times in handicaps over hurdles in 2018, including over this C&D. Two poor showings so far this year so she has to bounce back massively to be in with a chance here.

Form: 11553-0

Forecasts

Coillte Eile (5/2), Our Rockstar (7/2), Legend Lady (4/1), Get An Oscar (5/1), Glanvilles Guest (7/1), Prophets Prayer (12/1), Outrageous Romana (16/1), Wasdell (20/1), Petronella Manners (33/1)

Although he missed out on his hat-trick success last time at Uttoxeter, it was another solid run from OUR ROCKSTAR who has been in terrific form. He has gone up 7lb for his latest run but 5lb of that will be coming off with his jockey so he has a great opportunity to record another victory here. Colite Eile has some good form in Ireland and looks capable of winning this, while Get An Oscar ran well here last month when second and should be in the placings again.
