Make Your Mental Health A Priority Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:33 | Winning time: 4m 44.41s

Precious Eleanor²²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: H D Daly| OR: 110

9/2

Placed on 4 of her 6 starts over hurdles, including when second of 16 in mares' handicap at Doncaster (19.4f) in February. Still, more needed if she's to open her account here.

Form: 333524-

Airgead Suas¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 109

9/2

Winning pointer who has shown a fair level of ability in 2 starts under Rules, third in a 2½m Uttoxeter novice on recent reappearance. Worth considering now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 221/34-3

Lady Sally²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 108| D

16/1

Point winner last December and stepped up on previous efforts under Rules when fifth in a 13-runner novice hurdle here (16.2f, heavy) in March. May do better now upped in trip on this handicap debut.

Form: 6/1085-

Une De La Seniere^t²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

9/2

Hasn't shown much since winning start to her career over hurdles in France last spring, and fitting of a tongue strap didn't have the desired effect when last seen at Ludlow in February.

Form: 878956-

Czech Her Out^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 105

5/1

Off the mark at Stratford in July and, having undergone wind surgery, she posted a creditable effort when fourth in 15.8f Uttoxeter handicap last time. One to consider over this new trip.

Form: 667-184

Highway One²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D A Jacob| T: George Baker| OR: 105

16/1

Modest maiden on Flat and while she has shown a bit in 3 starts over hurdles, improvement is needed now making the switch to a handicap in this sphere.

Form: 532

Cotton End¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 104

6/1

Winner of 2 of her last 3 starts, producing a career-best at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) recently. 5 lb rise fair enough but she may prove vulnerable back up in trip here.

Form: 335151

Winfola¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 104

20/1

Five-time Flat winner in France and held every chance when falling at the final flight on hurdles debut at Musselburgh in January. However, well held both subsequent efforts in this sphere.

Form: F5-76

Pretty Fantasy^p⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 103

66/1

Modest maiden hurdler for Gavin Cromwell and step forward need on this debut for new yard.

Form: 29-0337

Ayr Of Elegance^t1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 96| D

28/1

Opened hurdles account for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland last year, but little impact in 4 starts for new yard. Now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 67-8988

The Lion Queen³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: D Weston| OR: 93

22/1

Hasn't shown enough in handful of novice events to make her of serious interest on this handicap debut.

Form: 567-646

Lets Go Dutchess²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: James Best| T: K Bishop| OR: 92| D

40/1

Unreliable type who has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 32/00-R0

Mrsgrey^t1²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 88

16/1

Feasibly treated judged on pick of her form, but she showed next to nothing on return at Hexham last month. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 3/896U-8

Costly Diamond^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 87

25/1

Poor maiden hurdler who finished nearer last than first starting out for this yard at Uttoxeter last month.

Forecasts

Precious Eleanor (9/2), Airgead Suas (9/2), Une De La Seniere (9/2), Jemima P (9/2), Czech Her Out (5/1), Cotton End (6/1), Northern Princess (10/1), Brophies Doll (11/1), Highway One (16/1), Lady Sally (16/1), Mrsgrey (16/1), Nearly Famous (16/1), Winfola (20/1), The Lion Queen (22/1), Costly Diamond (25/1), Ayr Of Elegance (28/1), Lets Go Dutchess (40/1), Pretty Fantasy (66/1)

NEARLY FAMOUS hasn't run over hurdles for the best part of 2 years, but she won't be found wanting fitness-wise following a handful of spins on the Flat in recent months. She resumes in this sphere on an appealing mark and earns the vote ahead of Northern Princess, who has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut. Czech Her Out and likely improver Lady Sally are others to consider.
