Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:28 | Winning time: 5m 1.6s

Getariver^t⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 120

9/4

Fairly useful hurdler who was a bit underwhelming in a jumpers bumper 49 days ago but looks a big player if staying the longer trip back in this sphere.

Form: 233625

Printing Dollars^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 111

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler but hasn't been seeing her races out this season. Mark on the slide and cheekpieces go back on but others make more appeal.

Form: P-64478

Une De La Seniere^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107| D

3/1

Resumed winning ways with a career-best at Leicester (20.5f, soft) in November and creditable efforts since, fourth at Southwell a fortnight ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 7P5144

Howdilyoudo¹²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 104

10/1

Has offered something to work on in a bumper/2 novice hurdles, but pulled up on handicap debut at Sedgefield 122 days ago. Not one to write off but she's on a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 3-43P

Bolt N Brown^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: J E Moore| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 102

11/1

Fair maiden on Flat who was allowed an easy lead when making winning hurdle debut at Ludlow last term. In the frame the last twice, albeit without shaping as if she has anything in hand. Up in trip.

Form: 1-26743

Petite Dame³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 99

11/2

Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles to this point and should be suited by the step back up in trip now handicapping. One to consider on just her third outing for current yard.

Form: 73655U

Forecasts

Getariver (9/4), Une De La Seniere (3/1), Printing Dollars (4/1), Petite Dame (11/2), Howdilyoudo (10/1), Bolt N Brown (11/1)

PETITE DAME hasn't pulled up any trees so far but there have been clear signs of ability, so this lightly-raced 5-y-o gets the tentative vote as she makes her handicap debut in a tightly-knit mares' event. Another solid showing seems assured from Une De La Seniere, so she's a threat along with Getariver.
