Get Pulling With PJ Nicholls SsangYong Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:47 | Winning time: 5m 41.1s

Une De La Seniere^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112

9/1

Has proved rather disappointing over fences and only 19 lengths second at Southwell back hurdling after wind surgery 11 days ago. Is 4 lb below the mark she won off at Ludlow last autumn so dangerous if scaling a revival.

Form: 44346-2

Lily's Gem^p,t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 107

18/1

Has largely struggled in Ireland this year but is fairly treated on peak form if a change of scenery sparks her back to life. Definitely worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: 0588P-5

Jersey Lady³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 106

9/4

Produced a career-best to narrowly score at Ffos Las in April and backed that up when 5 lengths second over 21f at Warwick since. Likely to be in the mix again.

Form: 33741-2

Jubilympics^t,v1³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 104

5/1

Losing run is mounting up, but she's largely consistent and ran respectably for fifth in Fontwell chase last month. Reached the frame on all 3 hurdle runs last term. Ought to be competitive in first-time visor/refitted tongue strap combination.

Form: 25423-5

Call The Fairies^b1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 103| BF

12/1

Fair performer but had plenty of chances now without winning and she wasn't at her best when 26 lengths second in Huntingdon maiden last time. First-time blinkers need to give her something extra.

Form: 7235-42

Lady Malarkey³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 91| C

6/4

Returned from a break to get off the mark in 2½m course handicap a month ago. Claims if in the same form but consistency hasn't been her strong suit so far.

Form: 8727P-1

Non-Runners

Brianna Rose²⁶

Weight: 11-5| Age: 5

T: M Keighley J: S Bowen

Forecasts

Lady Malarkey (6/4), Jersey Lady (9/4), Jubilympics (5/1), Brianna Rose (11/2), Une De La Seniere (9/1), Call The Fairies (12/1), Lily's Gem (18/1)

BRIANNA ROSE is much less exposed than the majority of these and the handicapper might have been generous dropping her 2 lb for last time given that the form has worted out. Jersey Lady has had a good spell this spring and looks next best ahead of Une de La Seniere who is well treated if able to recapture anything like her best form on her second outing after wind surgery.
