Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:32 | Winning time: 4m 3.58s

Sid Hoodie^p,t¹⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 111| D

15/8

Dual winner last season who got her head back in front at Taunton when last seen in November. That was a weak race but she returns in another. Much depends on whether she's primed after 143 days off.

Form: 15-7751

Malina Ocarina⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 96| D

11/5

Overcame an absence to make a winning start for this yard at Huntingdon in February. Has failed to reproduce that twice since but this less competitive.

Form: 540-106

Persuer¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 95

7/1

Fair middle-distance maiden on Flat for David Simcock in 2019. No significant impact over hurdles in the autumn but may do better now handicapping.

Form: F864

Fs Lola^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: J D Frost| OR: 90

5/2

66/1, improved effort back from wind surgery when fourth of 12 in Newton Abbot handicap 15 days ago. Good shout off the same mark if in similar form.

Form: 085P54

Forecasts

Sid Hoodie (15/8), Malina Ocarina (11/5), Fs Lola (5/2), Persuer (7/1)

There were much more encouraging signs from FS LOLA last time and she's taken to build on that and make her second handicap start a winning one. Malina Ocarina gets the nod for the forecast spot.
