depositbonus.com Casino Bonuses Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:49 | Winning time: 5m 24.56s

Ruby Yeats^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 117| CD

9/1

Ended last season in rude health and all the better for return when landing 18.5f Exeter handicap in January. Below par at Ascot since, though, and she's probably a shade too high in the weights now.

Form: P11-516

Mystic Dreamer¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 116

4/1

Career best when readily winning 17f handicap hurdle at Exeter in November. However, limitations seemingly exposed since and she's another who is probably in the handicapper's grip for now.

Form: 4-81352

Runasimi River²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 116

5/1

Improved performer last term, winning 4 times, and signalled she's ready to strike again when second at Doncaster in January. Failed to build on that next time, but not discounted all the same.

Form: 116-424

Midnight Ginger²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 112

13/2

Bumper winner who scored convincingly on hurdle debut in 2m Fakenham mares' novice in November. However, she didn't appear to get home upped to this trip at Market Rasen last time.

Form: 14-1P36

Go Chique⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108

9/1

Southwell bumper winner in September and chased home Midnight Ginger on second hurdles start at Fakenham. Well held at Ludlow since, though, and needs to get back on track now handicapping.

Form: 1528

Midnight Callisto⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 106| BF

5/2

Fairly useful bumper winner last term. Beaten favourite all 3 starts switched to hurdles this season, but no surprise if she's seen in a better light now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 193-344

Perfect Moment⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: James Davies| T: M Roberts| OR: 106

33/1

Dual winner at Fakenham last season and didn't shape at all badly back from a 10-month absence there in October. Early faller next time and this demands a clear career-best.

Form: 5114-5F

Sixties Secret¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 92| CD

7/1

Both wins gained here, the latest over C&D on return in September. Wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 18 at Huntingdon recently and, now 1 lb lower, she's not without hope.

Form: 146F66

Sexy Lot³

Weight: 12-2| Age: 5

T: D Pipe J: Fergus Gillard

Forecasts

Sexy Lot (2/1), Midnight Callisto (5/2), Mystic Dreamer (4/1), Runasimi River (5/1), Midnight Ginger (13/2), Sixties Secret (7/1), Ruby Yeats (9/1), Go Chique (9/1), Perfect Moment (33/1)

It's fair to say that MIDNIGHT CALLISTO has failed to measure up to expectations in maiden hurdles this season, but she has been handed what looks a potentially handy mark for this handicap debut. She gets the nod ahead of the admirably consistent Sexy Lot, who produced her best effort yet when scoring at Sandown on Friday. Sixties Secret and Runasimi River are others to consider.
