Rainbow Human Therapy Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:35 | Winning time: 5m 53.10s

Simply Loveleh^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 108

10/3

Returned to form to edge out a lightly-raced one in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good) 22 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and should go well again.

Form: PP709-1

My Lady Grey^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 105

10/1

Returned to form when second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, soft, 7/2) 20 days ago, though had the run of the race.

Form: 4237-82

Neetside^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 102

4/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft, 20/1) 15 days ago. Has definite claims if building on that promise.

Form: 21P5-94

Howdilyoudo^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 100| CD

6/1

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning 4-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 11/4) 9 days ago, though very much had the run of the race.

Form: 43P3-61

Missthecuddles^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 96

4/1

Respectable efforts last 2 starts but needs a bit more for win purposes.

Form: 49283-5

Serenisa^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 93

18/1

No great shakes in bumpers and has yet to offer much over hurdles, but wasn't knocked about returning from a 6-month break last time and could do better now handicapping back over further.

Form: 9345-7

Monete³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: Nick Mitchell| OR: 102

7/1

Fair form on the Flat in Germany and finished third in pair of 16.5f Taunton novices in April but failed to improve any further upped in trip here (20f) last time. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 533-5

Just Once^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 86

17/2

Back on song when second at Southwell in May and then wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Fakenham 13 days later. Remains winless but has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 6887-24

Forecasts

Simply Loveleh (10/3), Neetside (4/1), Missthecuddles (4/1), Howdilyoudo (6/1), Monete (7/1), Just Once (17/2), My Lady Grey (10/1), Serenisa (18/1)

SIMPLY LOVELEH was all out to hold on at Aintree last month, but that was a stronger race than this, so she gets the nod to follow up. Neetside and Just Once head the dangers.
