Betfred 'Play Fred's 5 Million' Handicap (Female Amateur Jockeys)

Off time: 17:08 | Winning time: 2m 15.2s

(4)

First Snowfall²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 70

14/1

Matched debut form when fourth at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. In good hands but opening mark isn't obviously generous.

Form: 474

(9)

Mustarrid^p⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

18/1

Tumbling in the weights without looking ready to take advantage, albeit he probably needed the run on May's reappearance. Back up in trip.

Form: 86700-5

(6)

Billy Roberts²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Stephanie Jardeback⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 68| D

10/3

Fourth win since last autumn when seeing off 7 rivals at Ripon in May. Arrives on the back of a trio of runner-up efforts and no reason why he won't give his running again.

Form: 150222

(7)

Wild Thunder^v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62| BF| D

10/3

Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) last month, soon clear. Well backed to follow up from 6 lb higher at Hamilton but was unable to sustain effort on quicker ground.

Form: 7-83315

(8)

Richard R H B¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

8/1

On a lengthy losing run but shaped as though back in form when third at Wolverhampton when last seen in April. GIven big chance by the assessor on return from a break.

Form: 7-67543

(2)

Sameem^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| D

9/1

Losing run dates back to 2019 and he looked hesitant when fourth at Beverley 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 80-3534

(5)

Dandy's Angel²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 52

15/8

Has just one win to her name but filled the runner-up spot for third start this season at Beverley (1¼m) 10 days ago, sticking to her task from off the pace. Never-nearer third at Pontefract on Wednesday.

Form: 422523

(1)

Out Of Ideas²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 50

80/1

Third in a French claimer for Andrew Hollinshead but low-key start in Britain.

Form: P389/00

Jackhammer²

Weight: 10-9| Age: 8

T: Mrs Dianne Sayer J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Dandy's Angel (15/8), Billy Roberts (10/3), Wild Thunder (10/3), Richard R H B (8/1), Jackhammer (8/1), Sameem (9/1), First Snowfall (14/1), Mustarrid (18/1), Out Of Ideas (80/1)

RICHARD R H B hasn't won since 2020 but the assessor has given him a major chance on return from a break and he certainly won't lack in assistance from the saddle. Billy Roberts deserves credit for his consistency and is second choice, with Dandy's Angel likely to be plugging on again.
