Amazing Sri Lanka Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 4m 48.66s

Lady Cylla^t1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: A W Carroll| OR: 110

22/1

Yet to win a race under Rules, despite showing some ability when with Tom Lacey her form is a mixed bag. Well held on her initial start for these connections and despite the ease in grade she still looks to face a tough task; tongue-tie now on.

Form: 3723P-7

Cut And Run²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: R Johnson| T: M Keighley| OR: 108| D

5/2

Failed to impress on her handicap debut after winning a Bangor novice although she hardly needed to improve to take that weak contest. Bounced back to form last time (career-best effort) when second to Runasimi River, has to reverse that form.

Form: 5P-3152

Bossiney Bay²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 107

16/1

Yet to really use her small field Exeter novice win as a springboard to better things having been well beaten in handicaps twice since that victory. Still early days and she didn't have the best of fortune in-running last time; one to keep an eye on.

Form: 52-155

Sue Be It^t⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 102

20/1

Dual winner over hurdles in the middle of last year before being off for around a year; only matched those winning performances once since (second at Ffos Las). Pulled up on her chasing debut in August, no surprise to see her back over hurdles.

Form: 3/11-52P

Runasimi River²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102| C

15/8

Back to winning ways at Warwick last time 2m3f, good/soft) with her revival signalled in the market taking advantage of a further reduced mark. Ought to be able to cope with a 7lb rise and once again hold second on that occasion Cut And Run.

Form: 4/60451

Artichoke Heart⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 97

14/1

Still has just the one standout effort to her name; taken two very much backward steps since that Worcester second. Operates off a career-low mark but isn't the best jumper; easily opposed even in a relatively weak heat.

Form: 6-64274

Mac Bella²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 93

7/1

Won with authority capitalising on a falling mark at Ffos Las in April to win her first and so far only race over 2m6f. Given time to recover after that; next seen when falling behind two of today's rivals at Warwick last month; not out of this.

Form: 66551-F

Parisian Affair^b1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 88

12/1

Blinkers now on for the first-time in an effort to kick-start her effort in handicaps having looked fairly limited in this sphere so far. Connections bring her back in trip now but she's not really progressing and hard to make a really solid case for

Form: 4-57495

Amlovi¹³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 87

25/1

Well held in bumpers and in novice hurdles and on the evidence so far looks a very limited proposition. Would require some considerable progress to see her making a mark now that she goes handicapping.

Form: P/80-985

Stupid Cupid¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 84

66/1

Showed very little over hurdles and fared no better when sent chasing after a long absence earlier this month in testing conditions (jumped poorly). Would have to step forward considerably to make an impression.

Form: 00/7P9-6

Corrie Loch⁷¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 81

14/1

Did at one stage in her career show some ability but became increasingly temperamental. Now has a long absence to overcome along with being 3lb out of the handicap; not an appealing proposition.

The Toojumpa²⁵⁵

Weight: 11-10| Age: 6

T: J Groucott J: Lee Edwards

Forecasts

Runasimi River (15/8), Cut And Run (5/2), Mac Bella (7/1), The Toojumpa (12/1), Parisian Affair (12/1), Artichoke Heart (14/1), Corrie Loch (14/1), Bossiney Bay (16/1), Sue Be It (20/1), Lady Cylla (22/1), Amlovi (25/1), Stupid Cupid (66/1)

Two of the main protagonists met last time and Warwick with RUNASIMI RIVER taken to confirm her superiority over Cut And Run despite the revised weights with the former not being badly treated on her old form despite a 7lb rise in the weights. Mac Bella took part in that race although not for long (fell four out) but if remaining upright she expected to play a part in the finish this time around. Bossiney Bay still has the look of one who is relatively unexposed and should be noted in the market along with the returning to hurdles Sue Be It who has winning form to her name over timber.
