Fakenham Membership As A Christmas Present Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:50 | Winning time: 5m 42.91s

Brown Bullet^h³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 106

5/1

Point winner who bagged her second victory over hurdles in 17f Fontwell handicap in March. Has underperformed on both outings (chase debut on latest) this term, but can't be ignored down in grade.

Form: 1551-55

Glorious Lady^t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 99| D

9/1

Lost her way for Keith Dalgleish and hasn't shown much for this yard as yet, down the field in a handicap chase at Plumpton 6 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 479-538

Diamond Rose¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: J S Smith| OR: 82| D

11/8

Dual winner over hurdles and, despite late errors, posted his best effort over fences when fifth in stronger race at Ludlow recently. Could land this by default if she runs to form.

Form: 35-5475

The Feckenham Fox¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: M Young| OR: 79

9/2

Little impact in 3 runs between the flags/over hurdles, so no reason to think he'll get seriously involved on this first go at chasing.

Form: 77FP-77

Peggyclare^h,t⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 72

28/1

Limited hurdler who looks firmly up against it from out of the weights on chasing debut.

Form: 80/P-900

Connie Wilde²⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 71

18/5

Has failed to threaten in half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles and he's well out of the weights returning from 9 months off, so it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 6P596P-

Forecasts

Diamond Rose (11/8), Connie Wilde (18/5), The Feckenham Fox (9/2), Brown Bullet (5/1), Glorious Lady (9/1), Peggyclare (28/1)

A decidedly weak contest that may well go the way of DIAMOND ROSE, the only one who arrives on the back of a creditable effort. Brown Bullet should find this easier than her chasing debut, so she could throw down the main challenge to the selection. The remaining quartet are hard to recommend.
