Every Race Live On Racing TV Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:21 | Winning time: 5m 31.35s

Code Name Lise^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham

10/3

Bumper form was pretty useful but she has yet to show much of an aptitude for hurdling, unseating rider at the first flight with cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) at Lingfield last week.

Form: 17-348U

Folly Hill⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

50/1

Decent jumps pedigree but she was well held when exiting at the third-last on debut in an Exeter novice. More one for the longer term.

Form: F

Galante De Romay⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

9/1

Showed ability on debut in a Ludlow bumper but subsequent hurdles bow over this C&D was not so promising.

Form: 53

Hillfinch⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

4/9

Showed plenty in bumpers and positive start over hurdles when chasing home a potentially useful rival over C&D, in turn pulling clear of the rest. Open to improvement and she's the one to beat.

Form: 1432

Mad About Sally³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy

100/1

Placed twice in Irish points in 2020 but last month's Rules debut in a Newbury novice was completely devoid of promise.

Form: 325-P

North South Rosie²⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Tracey Leeson

300/1

Didn't show a great deal in 4 starts between the flags and probably best watched on Rules debut.

Form: 4-666

Rapaport¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Max Kendrick| T: T Bulgin

11/1

Point winner who was runner-up on second of her 2 starts in bumpers in 2018. Bettered low-key hurdles debut when third at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) back from 14 months off and each-way claims here.

Form: 142U/5-3

Songdance^h,t⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J Stevenson⁽⁷⁾| T: J G O'Neill

300/1

Beaten a long way on each of her 2 starts in bumpers and it's difficult to envisage her making an impact now switched to hurdles.

Form: 90

Tokara³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

25/1

Failed to complete on debut in a Hereford maiden in January and struggled at Warwick next time. Likely she will come into her own when going down the handicap route.

Form: F5

Forecasts

Hillfinch (4/9), Code Name Lise (10/3), Hana Collonges (4/1), Havanella (6/1), Galante De Romay (9/1), Rapaport (11/1), Tokara (25/1), Folly Hill (50/1), Mad About Sally (100/1), North South Rosie (300/1), Songdance (300/1)

It's hard to look beyond HILLFINCH, who pulled a long way clear of the re-opposing Galante de Romay and six others when second to the potentially useful Holly Hartingo on her C&D hurdles debut last month. Rapaport Code Name Lise are taken to fill the places.
