bet365 Mares' Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:10 | Winning time: 5m 41.25s

Anightinlambourn²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 108

7/2

Fair hurdler who matched that form for the first time over fences when scoring at Huntingdon 23 days ago. Solid claims if she can back that up.

Form: 4P35F1

Moonlight Glory²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 99

2/1

12/1, first run since leaving Brian M. McMahon when creditable second of 13 in handicap chase at Hexham. New yard is going well, so he's worth a chance to go one better.

Form: 585362

Spot On Soph^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 94

5/4

Going the right way over fences lately, scoring comfortably at Catterick a month ago. Runner-up has let that form down since but it's backed up by the time, and this sharp track should suit her (travels well).

Form: 5-F1241

Stamina Chope¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 92

11/1

Fair maiden hurdler at best who hasn't really fired for this stable. Better effort over fences when second at Ffos Las recently, but hard to be sure that he'll back it up.

Form: 3455U2

Forecasts

Spot On Soph (5/4), Moonlight Glory (2/1), Anightinlambourn (7/2), Stamina Chope (11/1)

MOONLIGHT GLORY made a positive start for an in-form yard when second at Hexham recently and is worth a chance to go one better for all this is a competitive race for the numbers. Last-time-out winners Spot On Soph and Anightinlambourn should both ensure that it's not a straightforward task for the selection.
