Alrose Productions Shell Scheme Provider Mares' Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 5m 17.31s

Travel Lightly^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr William Easterby⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 98

16/1

In good form on the Flat this year, striking twice in July. Sole success in this sphere was almost 2 years ago and she was beaten a long way out at Carlisle recently. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 235/76-P

Lostnfound⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 95WS

6/1

Sole win was back in 2017 and she's failed to kick on from a mildly-promising reappearance at Southwell in July. Tongue tie omitted having had a wind op.

Form: 563-548

Storm Force One^p1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P D Niven| OR: 93

50/1

Showed ability in a couple of 12.5f Wetherby bumpers last winter but has struggled since jump racing's resumption, including switched to hurdles the last thrice. Opening mark harsh with headgear on.

Form: 3-78678

Let's Sway^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 90

11/2

Free-goer without a win since 2018 and she's not really looked like rectifying that in recent times. Step up in trip isn't an obvious move, either.

Form: F3-5688

Splash The Cash²⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 89

9/1

Much improved when second on handicap debut at Musselburgh (19.8f) in March 2019 and looked back in that sort of form at Wetherby in January. Returns with yard in good order.

Form: F/36853-

Sally Can't Wait⁵⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 88

11/2

Had shown a bit in maiden/novice hurdles but was readily brushed aside on handicap debut at Chepstow in April 2019, and off since. Has been given a chance by the handicapper, though.

Form: 479760/

Millie The Minx¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 87| C

9/4

Modest 12f winner on Flat who shaped quite encouragingly switched to fences this autumn. Eased in the weights back over timber and she's interesting.

Form: 244-436

Russian Royale³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Aidan Macdonald⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

28/1

Winless since 2018 and recent efforts have been just fair.

Form: 4P26-60

Lammturner^p²⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 78| C

14/1

Course winner who shaped well when fourth on return at Newcastle (23.7f) a year ago, noted keeping on well. Off since February and this trip looks on the sharp side.

Form: 16/54P5-

Rann Of Kutch⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Bewley| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 73

150/1

Looks very limited on early evidence. Handicap debut.

Form: 6-697

Mo Tottie^p,t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 68

13/2

Favourite when finished tailed off in bumper and no worthwhile form over hurdles yet.

Form: U776P-5

Two Thirty Yeat^p1³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 67

40/1

Little in the way of solid form.

Form: 056-7P9

Forecasts

Millie The Minx (9/4), Let's Sway (11/2), Sally Can't Wait (11/2), Lostnfound (6/1), Mo Tottie (13/2), Splash The Cash (9/1), Lammturner (14/1), Travel Lightly (16/1), Russian Royale (28/1), Two Thirty Yeat (40/1), Storm Force One (50/1), Rann Of Kutch (150/1)

Having enjoyed a productive period on the level this summer, MILLIE THE MINX showed up quite well over fences in recent weeks and her hurdles mark is an appealing one. She looks the way to go, for all Splash The Cash and Sally Can't Wait have something to recommend them on reappearance.
