Duralock Group Conditional Jockeys' Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 13:08 | Winning time: 6m 20.6s

Massini's Dream²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 110| D

5/2

Fair hurdler who continued her positive start to chasing when runner-up after 12 months off at Bangor 3 weeks ago, doing everything right but unable to find a way past a game winner. Not dismissed.

Form: 3U12/3-2

Ballybough Nora^t²⁰⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Godfrey| T: J Scott| OR: 107| BF

6/1

Yet to strike over fences, but this point/hurdles winner is largely consistent. Excuses last time (reportedly bled and also lost shoe) so she can bounce back after 6 months off the track.

Form: 32235P-

Ocean Voyage^p,t¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 96

13/2

Fair winning hurdler in Ireland. Returned to form from out of the blue when second of 15 in handicap chase (14/1) at this course (20f, good) 6 months ago and she remains well treated on best form.

Form: 597502-

The Toojumpa¹⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 93| D

5/6

Only one win from 24 runs, failing to complete both starts back in April. However, has joined a top stable and from this reduced mark, there's every chance she will get back on track on reappearance.

Form: 2834UP-

Forecasts

The Toojumpa (5/6), Massini's Dream (5/2), Ballybough Nora (6/1), Ocean Voyage (13/2)

Tough to rule out any of the quartet but the eye is drawn to THE TOOJUMPA. She's yet to taste success in this sphere, but having joined leading trainer Fergal O'Brien and tumbled further in the weights, she's taken to strike. Massini's Dream narrowly shades the vote for the forecast spot ahead of Ballybough Nora.
