Equine Products Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 16:21 | Winning time: 5m 31.4s

Haul Us In^p²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 123| BF

4/1

Likeable mare; has returned to action in fine fettle this winter; hit very hard by the handicapper for scoring by 16L at Uttoxeter (2m6½f, heavy) on her penultimate start; has finished behind Hidden Dilemma at Carlisle since.

Form: 10/2214

She'sasupermack¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 120| D

15/8

Both of her hurdle wins came on good ground, but she's shown consistent form on soft more latterly; raised 1lb since finishing 2¼L second to the subsequent scorer First Account on chasing debut at Musselburgh (2m4½f, soft) a fortnight ago.

Form: 260322

Molly Carew^t⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 114| D

9/4

Mudlark; has kept decent company without exactly firing since winning easily at Ffos Las (2m3½f, gd/sft) in February 2018; reverts back to that 'winning' mark and feasibly may find this race to be a shade less competitive.

Form: 134-433

Hidden Dilemma²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 112| D

3/1

Made most until headed at the final fence by the eventual winner Skewiff at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) four weeks ago (Haul Us In 23L back in fourth); fair chance if replicating that form (isn't guaranteed) from a 2lb higher mark.

Form: 9P-30P2

Forecasts

She'sasupermack (15/8), Molly Carew (9/4), Hidden Dilemma (3/1), Haul Us In (4/1)

An interesting race in which you'd be reluctant to dismiss any of the four runners, although it is acknowledged that Haul Us In was hit hard by the handicapper for winning by 16L at Uttoxeter. Both Hidden Dilemma (inconsistent) and She'sasupermack (runner-up to a subsequent winner on chasing debut) will have their fair share of supporters. However, from her last winning mark we'll elect to take a slight chance on the Neil Mulholland-trained MOLLY CAREW. She is the sole runner on today's card for her Wiltshire-based trainer (2-12; 17% here) and may find this race a shade less competitive than recent outings at Cheltenham and Taunton.
