Enava Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 6m 34.70s

Runasimi River²¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 117| C

6/1

Likeable mare who proved determined when defying 1 lb lower mark at Plumpton (20.5f) in March. Not in same form at Fakenham later that month but she returns with yard in decent order.

Form: 6/42413-

Misty Bloom³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 113| D

3/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark in a 5-runner event at Ludlow on her final outing of last season. Shaped as if she'd come on for her Warwick return in September and better showing anticipated.

Form: 36F01-5

Coquelicot^b1,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 110

7/4

Triple bumper winner who didn't translate that form to hurdling last term, for all she ran to a fair level. Fit from spin on Flat in October and blinkers may put an extra edge on her back over timber.

Form: 11/2334-

Chloe's Court^p,t²²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 108

17/2

Capitalised on easing mark when finally off the mark at Exeter (21.6f) in January, battling well. Not in same form at Fontwell when last seen in March and possible she will need this on return.

Form: 732/516-

Roseisaroseisarose^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 101| BF

7/2

Matched previous best over hurdles when runner-up at Warwick (19f) in September, no match for winner but nicely on top of remainder. Not in same form over fences since but bounce back not ruled out.

Form: P433-24

Forecasts

Coquelicot (7/4), Misty Bloom (3/1), Roseisaroseisarose (7/2), Runasimi River (6/1), Chloe's Court (17/2)

COQUELICOT was unable to match her useful bumper form in a handful of hurdle tries last season. However, fit from a spin on the Flat now handicapping in this sphere, she could be worth chancing to put it all together now blinkers are enlisted. Misty Bloom and Runasimi River head up the dangers.
