Plyvine Caterers 40th Anniversary Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:40 | Winning time: 6m 20.1s

Robin Gold^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 122| D

6/1

Has shone for this yard under patient tactics, winning 4 handicaps in 5 starts this season before a fair third in listed event 3 weeks ago. Step back up in trip will suit on this return to handicaps.

Form: 113113

Legends Ryde^t⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 120

20/1

Won 20f Ffos Las mares' novice in March. Ran well back in that grade in November, but found to have had a fibrillating heart when pulled up at Carlisle last time. Up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 421-62P

Shambra^t1⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 117| C

50/1

Ended last season on a downer and hasn't shown much in a couple of runs over fences for new yard this time round. Needs to bounce back returned to this sphere in first-time tongue tie. Yard quiet.

Form: 93P4-4P

Eleanor Bob⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114

10/1

Fairly useful dual winner last winter but needs to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts in handicaps this term now back up in trip. Her mark is falling at least.

Form: 6116-98

Sandymount Rose^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112

10/11

Continues in good form, finally opening her account in 23f Exeter conditionals' handicap in the mud 11 days ago despite a far-from-fluent round. Will go well again off same mark (due to go up 7 lb).

Form: 222-221

Coillte Eile³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 108| D

5/1

Underperformed on second start for new yard at Huntingdon last month (again well backed) and has shown her form just once since winning similar race at Ascot in November 2019. Tricky to fancy.

Form: 99-4535

Wilde Spirit^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 107

7/1

Record stands at 0-15 but there is a race in her and she knows her way round here. Probably biting off a bit more than she can chew in this company, though.

Form: P33-264

Weight: 11-12| Age: 7

Memphis Bell¹

Weight: 10-12| Age: 7

Forecasts

Sandymount Rose (10/11), Bond's Lover (3/1), Memphis Bell (4/1), Coillte Eile (5/1), Robin Gold (6/1), Wilde Spirit (7/1), Eleanor Bob (10/1), Legends Ryde (20/1), Shambra (50/1)

SANDYMOUNT ROSE finally opened her account at Exeter recently and has obvious claims off the same mark (due to be 7 lb higher in the future). Robin Gold can go well returned to a handicap, while Wilde Spirit isn't without a chance back at a venue where she's usually in the money.
