William Hill Build Your Odds Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:25 | Winning time: 4m 6.65s

See The Sea²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 116| CD

5/1

Fairly useful front-running hurdler who scored at Stratford last August. Not really on her game since, readily brushed side again when fourth (Maria Magdalena second) at Southwell last month.

Form: 1554-64

Maria Magdalena²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 112| D

13/2

Front runner who was successful 3 times over hurdles in juvenile campaign in 2019. Lightly raced since but latest Southwell second shows she retains all of her ability.

Form: 512R/82

Lady Shanawell²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 103| CD

18/1

Won twice over hurdles in the second half of 2019, including over C&D. Arrives fit from the Flat but she will need an improved effort to overcome this mark.

Form: 1P166/P-

Millie The Minx^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 100| D

3/1

Bagged handicap hurdles at Musselburgh and Sedgefield during the spring. Runner-up twice on the Flat in early summer and another fine effort when second again back hurdling last time.

Form: 33171-2

Pepper Street^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 98

8/1

Won back to back at Southwell and Stratford in May. Also runner-up over C&D in June and a contender if a lesser effort at Uttoxeter last time can be forgiven.

Form: 63-1125

Flood Defence³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine| OR: 95| BF

14/1

Pair of Musselburgh Flat wins last summer. Went close over hurdles at Sedgefield in November but has struggled under both codes since. Booking of Brian Hughes does catch the eye, though.

Form: 783/020-

Sarvi^b⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie| OR: 93

2/1

Dual-purpose mare who got back to winning ways in good style at Perth last Sunday. Escapes a penalty so very much the one to beat if showing up in similar form.

Form: 037-441

Non-Runners

Ayr Of Elegance²⁶

Weight: 11-2| Age: 9

T: D J Jeffreys J: Charlie Deutsch

Sinndarella²⁰

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

T: Sarah Hollinshead J: Non Runner

La Mystere³¹

Weight: 10-12| Age: 6

T: S R B Crawford J: C O'Farrell

Forecasts

Sarvi (2/1), Millie The Minx (3/1), Ayr Of Elegance (4/1), See The Sea (5/1), La Mystere (6/1), Sinndarella (6/1), Maria Magdalena (13/2), Pepper Street (8/1), Flood Defence (14/1), Lady Shanawell (18/1)

A race which to some degree revolves around SARVI who will take a bit of stopping if in anything like the same form as when scoring comfortably off this mark at Perth last weekend. Dianne Sayer's Millie The Minx has had a good spell under both codes this year and is feared most ahead of Maria Magdalena.
