Doorchester Suite Luxury Collection Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:40 | Winning time: 5m 31.50s

Hot Ryan^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 99| CD

7/2

Has been mostly in good form this summer and gained a deserved win over C&D (good) 18 days ago. 2lb worse off with the runner-up Superefficient but will go close if in the same form again.

Form: 38-3P21

Superefficient^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 92

11/4

Second run for this yard when beaten 1¼L by Hot Ryan over this trip last time out. That was a career best but was beaten fairly and despite a 2lb pull, needs to find more to reverse the form.

Form: 951-U52

Sin Sin^p,h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 89

10/1

Posted one of her better efforts in a seller at Market Rasen (2m½f, good) 15 days ago. Up 4lb for that and was beaten off lower marks than this in four previous runs so needs the extra 6½f today to unlock improvement.

Form: P-22544

Rubys Cube³⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 89| CD

6/1

Off the track since breaking her maiden in this event 12 months ago. A comfortable winner that day, she returns off a 4lb higher mark. Small yard are 2/9 this season but will need to be 100% to retain her crown.

Form: 6F/0P21-

Trysor Ynys^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 86

20/1

Just one effort of note when beaten ½L at Southwell (2m4½f, good) back in May. Tailed off over 3m on her last two runs and although the Southwell form would give her a chance, it has to be taken on trust.

Form: 005-299

Deise Bless^h,t1¹⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: R P McLernon| T: Miss Kelly Morgan| OR: 83

20/1

Handicap debutant who has been comfortably beaten in all starts so far. A half-sister to two useful performers (Sutton Manor/Relic Rock), this longer trip and easier task should suit with a tongue-tie added to the hood.

Form: 77P74-

Luck Of The Legion³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 81

6/1

Hadn't shown a great deal until switched to a handicap when fourth at Bangor (2m7f, good) 30 days ago. That represented a big improvement and still early days for this daughter of Getaway with likely more to come.

Form: 09/954

Talkingpicturestv⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 76

11/2

Three creditable efforts were followed by her maiden victory at Stratford (2m6f, good) two runs ago on 1 June. Beaten 52L last time at Cartmel (2m6f, good) but a short-break since suggests she maybe wasn't right that day.

Form: 743-314

All Riled Up⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Bargary| T: H Chisman| OR: 67

50/1

Veteran mare who returned from nearly three years off the track back in January. Has shown very little in five starts since and she is readily opposed in this contest from out of the handicap.

Form: 1/PP-998

Okmyway^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 67

40/1

Hard to be enthused by any of her 10 runs to date, she pulled up after a seven-month break at Bangor (2m3½f, good) 12 days ago. Out of the handicap and would be a surprise winner of this race.

Form: 4850P-P

Starlit Night^p1⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 65

33/1

Has been badly out of form since her only win at Stratford (2m6f, good) in August 2017. Three runs over fences this year haven't improved her fortunes and cheekpieces are added back over hurdles here from out of the handicap.

Form: 779-4U9

Non-Runners

Lapalala¹

Weight: 10-6| Age: 8

T: P Hobbs & J White J: R Johnson

Forecasts

Superefficient (11/4), Hot Ryan (7/2), Talkingpicturestv (11/2), Rubys Cube (6/1), Luck Of The Legion (6/1), Lapalala (15/2), Sin Sin (10/1), Deise Bless (20/1), Trysor Ynys (20/1), Starlit Night (33/1), Okmyway (40/1), All Riled Up (50/1)

HOT RYAN was a comfortable winner when beating Superefficient in a slightly better race over course and distance 18 days ago and they are very likely to be in the thick of it once again with Hot Ryan confirming the form. Of the others, Luck Of The Legion hasn't had many chances and improved in a handicap over this trip last time and so can make the frame if building on that.
