Racing TV Free For A Month Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:10 | Winning time: 3m 47.5s

Alright Marlene^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 102| CD

5/1

Inconsistent mare who bounced back after a breathing operation to belatedly shed her maiden tag over C&D on New Year's Day. Sound third ridden aggressively at Sedgefield since.

Form: P2-4613

Ilaya^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 100| D

14/1

Dual winner in 2019/20 who was possibly unsuited by conditions when a never-dangerous sixth at Newcastle in November. No impact behind Alright Marlene over C&D on New Year's Day. Hood removed.

Form: 663-069

Blue Hawaii²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier| OR: 98| BF| CD

5/1

Sole hurdles win in a C&D novice in March. Easily best effort in handicaps since when second of 6 at Southwell last month and shaped a lot better than the result up in trip in the mud at Kelso.

Form: 1-46724

I Will Follow Her^h⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 96

10/1

Best form came when runner-up on debut. Failed to stay longer trip (23f) on handicap debut at Market Rasen in November, so is best not judged on that. Hood back on now and too soon to write off.

Form: P/P2-857

Latino Fling⁵⁴

15/8

Heavily backed for new yard when runner-up in 21f Sedgefield handicap in November, going well long way. Similar effort back at that venue a month later and worth a go at 2m. Has had a wind op.

Form: 933-323

Winfola^p⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 89

66/1

Out of form over hurdles when last seen in 2020 and more miss than hit on the level more recently.

Form: F5/7607-

Miracle Eagle^v³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 88

12/1

Failed to feature on handicap debut in June off what looked to be a stiff looking mark. Has performed respectably on the Flat since but needed to see more back timber at Sedgefield latest.

Form: 56-856

Baladio⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J Mackie| OR: 87

50/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who showed some aptitude for hurdling after 4 months off when third in 4-runner novice at Hereford (19.7f). Not in the same form at Doncaster but given a lowly mark.

Form: 34

Sawpit Sienna^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 86

9/2

Improved in handicaps last season, winning at Fakenham (20f) and second on 3 of her 4 starts thereafter. December's reappearance was needed and right back on her game when runner-up at Taunton.

Form: 2282-52

Lady De Vega^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P R Webber| OR: 81

80/1

Modest on Flat and over hurdles pulling up at Fakenham last week.

Form: 95P-48P

Kitty Hall^p,t1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: B Butterworth| OR: 74

50/1

Still a maiden over hurdles and, having left Nicky Richards, she failed to show much in a couple of handicaps at Sedgefield.

Form: 64UP06

Amlovi²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle| OR: 73| D

22/1

Failed to complete 3 starts on the bounce over fences prior to performing with credit when fourth of 13 back hurdling at Uttoxeter (15.8f).

Form: 33FP-P4

Willa¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 71

80/1

Fair maiden on the Flat but very little to shout about in qualifying runs over hurdles.

Form: 069

Forecasts

Latino Fling (15/8), Sawpit Sienna (9/2), Blue Hawaii (5/1), Alright Marlene (5/1), I Will Follow Her (10/1), Miracle Eagle (12/1), Ilaya (14/1), Amlovi (22/1), Kitty Hall (50/1), Baladio (50/1), Winfola (66/1), Lady De Vega (80/1), Willa (80/1)

BLUE HAWAII caught the eye with how she went through the race at Kelso a month ago and with this lesser test of stamina clearly in her favour, she could be the way to go. Latino Fling has had a breathing op and will surely win a race for Donald McCain, with Sawpit Sienna also of interest.
