Ship Aground - Dinas Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:35 | Winning time: 5m 29.08s

Flowing Cadenza²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R H Buckler| OR: 107

11/1

Well ridden to score at Wincanton in February but couldn't back up that performance, only mid-field there last time. Unchanged mark still looks on the steep side.

Form: P2PP16

Doyen La Lutte^b1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104

7/1

Disappointing at Southwell last time but the form of her previous second at Wincanton is working out well and she may be worth allowing the chance to bounce back here in first-time blinkers.

Form: 349027

Subway Surf⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 104

6/1

Long-standing maiden over hurdles. Doesn't look to have anything hidden from the handicapper and should prove vulnerable again.

Form: 2-22925

Howdilyoudo^t¹⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103

7/2

Enjoyed a productive summer last year, winning twice across a generally consistent spell. Returns from a 6-month break but should be well in the the mix if ready to fire.

Form: 613122

Jersey Lady¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: O Sherwood| OR: 103

7/1

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) 17 days ago, running on late. Step back up in trip is a plus but she doesn't look particularly well treated.

Form: 7-13374

Kilganer Queen^t¹¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 93| D

8/1

Multiple winner in Ireland and seemingly produced one of her best performances for this yard when third at Ascot 11 days ago. That may flatter her, though, and she's probably best watched.

Form: 1-V4P43

Saddlers Quest¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 81

11/5

Decent effort when fourth in a Newton Abbot apprentice event 13 days ago but is a well-exposed maiden at this stage and ranks an unlikely winner.

Form: 586-404

Forecasts

Saddlers Quest (11/5), My Silver Lining (10/3), Howdilyoudo (7/2), Subway Surf (6/1), Chantilly Haze (13/2), Jersey Lady (7/1), Doyen La Lutte (7/1), Kilganer Queen (8/1), Flowing Cadenza (11/1), Quilaura (25/1)

Top-weight MY SILVER LINING underwhelmed on handicap debut last time, but this race shouldn't take as much winning and the step up in trip looks a positive, so she's the pick to resume her progress. Howdilyoudo thrived in the summer and is the main danger on return from an absence, whilst Chantilly Haze shouldn't be ruled out from a feather weight.
