starsports.bet Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:26 | Winning time: 3m 55.85s

Laura Bullion^p,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| D

17/2

Positive start for new yard this autumn, runner-up at Plumpton and better still when third at Taunton, both under Lewis Stones. Likely to give it another good shot with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1440-23

Peltwell^p⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 116| D

4/1

Picked up where she left off last season, completing a superb 6-timer at Hereford last month. 5 lb rise perfectly fair for the very likeable mare.

Form: 1111-11

Cup Of Coffee^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 114| D

7/2

Confirmed the promise of her reappearance when landing 6-runner maiden at Ludlow last month. Unexposed but opening mark does call for more.

Form: 9/FF-21

Maria Magdalena²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 111| D

7/1

Three-time winner over hurdles in 2019. Rather in-and-out this term and we know where we stand with her.

Form: 822533

Table Mountain^p¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 105| BF| D

9/2

Fairly useful winning stayer on Flat, outclassed when last seen at Ascot in June. Failed to win in juvenile season over hurdles but promise along the way and mark is very fair.

Form: 34524-2

Blue Hawaii³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: James Bowen| T: T Collier| OR: 101| D

5/2

Landed 2m novice at Catterick in March but has been disappointing since, albeit not seen to best effect at Carlisle last month.

Form: 141-467

Forecasts

Blue Hawaii (5/2), Cup Of Coffee (7/2), Peltwell (4/1), Table Mountain (9/2), Maria Magdalena (7/1), Laura Bullion (17/2)

This looks trappy, but PELTWELL keeps defying the assessor courtesy of superb placing and a 5 lb rise for Hereford may not prevent this likeable mare bringing up a remarkable 7-timer. Table Mountain should have more to offer this season, with Laura Bullion also of interest.
