Wincanton Supporting Wincanton Town Youth FC Mares' Novices' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:46 | Winning time: 6m 30.01s

Wilde Spirit³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 100

10/3

Fair maiden hurdler who shaped as if needing her return/chase debut effort when last of 3 at Hereford (20.8f) last month, making novicey mistakes. Still, she should do better with that under her belt.

Form: 64255-3

My Lady Grey^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 88

3/1

Back-to-back winner at Newton Abbot last summer. More miss than hit this term, in trouble when pace lifted when well held third of 4 over hurdles last time. Mark has eased a little more at least.

Form: 634523

Colours Of My Life⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 87

5/1

Limited impact over hurdles for Alan King and similar story over fences/hurdles for present yard. Another to have eased in weights though and worth noting if betting vibes are particularly positive.

Form: 850-P85

Marilyn Monroe³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 81

11/8

Bumper/hurdles winner who wasn't disgraced when 7.5 lengths third of 6 over fences at Ffos Las (20.9f) in October. Not ruled out with a repeat from such a low mark.

Form: 137-553

Forecasts

Marilyn Monroe (11/8), My Lady Grey (3/1), Wilde Spirit (10/3), Colours Of My Life (5/1)

A tricky opener but MARILYN MONROE arrives on the back of a creditable third over shorter at Ffos Las and this step back up in trip promises to suit now operating from a career-low mark. She gets the nod, with Wilde Spirit, who should come on for her return/chase debut effort at Hereford, fancied to pose the chief threat.
