Pertemps Network Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 5m 56.45s

Eyes Right¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 111

10/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped much better than on her handicap bow 10 months on when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.6f, good to soft, 11/1) a fortnight ago.

Form: 10/437-4

Mrs Miggins^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

25/1

Off the mark at second attempt over fences at Southwell in September. Display at Uttoxeter can be excused, but ran poorly when pulled up at Taunton 22 days ago. Switches back over timber.

Form: 4P-F16P

Sandymount Rose^t1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

4/1

Runner-up on each of her 4 starts in this sphere, the latest at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 21 days ago. This trip won't be an issue (proven at 3m) and a tongue tie replaces the usual hood.

Form: 0/5222-2

Millie Of Mayo¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Lyall Hodgins⁽⁷⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 110| CD

18/1

Different proposition since switched to handicaps, completing hat-trick at Hexham in September. Not quite as good on her last 2 outings and is possibly in the grip of the handicapper now.

Form: 6-11157

Lily The Pink²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 110| BF

10/3

Fair bumper winner who left previous hurdling efforts behind when bolting up in handicap (with omitted flights) at Exeter in January. Ran well on return at Lingfield last month and can build on that.

Form: 45512-2

Precious Eleanor³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 110| BF

11/2

Maiden who ran up to best when runner-up on return at Hereford (19.6f) in October, albeit her mark looking no more than an average one. Still, no surprise to see her give another good account.

Form: 33524-2

A Perfect Gift²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 109

8/1

Bumper winner who showed ability in this sphere last season, third in Exeter novice in February. Ridden with an eye on the future on return to action last month and is a big player on handicap debut.

Form: 14/6B3-3

Meep Meep^p1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 104| BF

4/1

Ended last term with eye-catching fifth on yard debut in 2m Doncaster novice and shaped better than on return when runner-up at Exeter 16 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces applied and not discounted.

Form: PP/U5-52

Jessie Lightfoot³¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 96

66/1

Seemed to show plenty of ability when fourth on Leicester hurdle debut/reappearance in December but well held in 2 outings at Ludlow since. Handicap debut after 10 months off.

Form: 67/497-

Catchmeifyoucan¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 92

14/1

Showed her first form when second on 23f Bangor handicap almost a year ago and wasn't disgraced subsequently. Probably needed the run when fourth on return at Carlisle, albeit better placed than most.

Form: 42453-4

Forecasts

Lily The Pink (10/3), Sandymount Rose (4/1), Meep Meep (4/1), Precious Eleanor (11/2), A Perfect Gift (8/1), Eyes Right (10/1), Catchmeifyoucan (14/1), Millie Of Mayo (18/1), Mrs Miggins (25/1), Jessie Lightfoot (66/1)

A PERFECT GIFT wasn't given a hard time on her return at Stratford 3 weeks ago, running on into third though never troubling the front pair. An opening mark of 109 may prove to be a touch lenient and she's taken to make a winning handicap debut. Meep Meep didn't get the rub of the green when runner-up at Exeter earlier this month but may have to settle for silver again, ahead of Lily The Pink.
