Brakspear Gravity Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:13 | Winning time: 5m 26.1s

Leave My Alone¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 97

8/1

Remains a maiden after five starts under Rules. She has yet to shine since joining handicap company, including last time when she was pulled up at Exeter (2m2½f). Has been eased 5lb but does need to improve.

Form: 164-68P

Briery Bunny^h,t1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 96

20/1

A maiden who was 11th of 13 on her latest attempt at this course over 2m after going off at 100/1. Will wear a tongue-tie for the first time. Set for her handicap debut here so look out for any market confidence.

Form: 067-0

Impulsive Leader¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 84

14/1

0-8 on the track under Rules. Her form has yet to improve since joining handicap company, including when she was 15th of 17 on her latest effort at Chepstow (2m). Has been eased 5lb. Others are preferred.

Form: 655P9-0

Amlovi¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: A Wintle| OR: 82

25/1

Yet to score in eight attempts to date. She was 12th of 17 on her latest start at Chepstow (2m) after going off at 50/1. Has been dropped 5lb by the handicapper. Needs to take a huge step forward though.

Form: 0-985P0

Tara Well^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Ceris Biddle⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 82| D

2/1

Her sole success came at Leicester (2m4½f) in January 2018. She came close to adding to her tally on her return to that C&D on her penultimate start as she was second of 13. Is now 2lb lower than her last winning mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 5/4582-5

Vereina^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 79

4/1

Is a maiden after 10 appearances. Her form has improved recently, including when she was fifth of 15 at Stratford (2m2½f) last time out. Drops down 1lb. Has each-way claims here.

Form: P04-455

Pania²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 78

16/1

Has shown very few encouraging signs in her five outings so far. She unseated her rider at Exeter (2m1f) last time out when she was well beaten at the time. Set for her handicap debut here. More is needed.

Form: 4-409U

Forecasts

Peltwell (7/4), Tara Well (2/1), Choochoobugaloo (3/1), Vereina (4/1), Leave My Alone (8/1), Impulsive Leader (14/1), Pania (16/1), Briery Bunny (20/1), Amlovi (25/1)

PELTWELL is still a maiden, however, she has been performing well without success. This step up in trip should help her so take the mare to prevail off what still looks a very workable mark. Choochoobugaloo was second at this course over 2m two starts back. She remains off the same mark here so she is in with a good chance once again on her return to hurdles, while Tara Well is 2lb lower than her last winning mark and given she has shown signs of returning to form recently, should be taken to fill the placings.
