Maria Magdalena²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 107

3/1

Twelve runs since last success in 2019. but she posted a very good third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 29 days ago. Winner has gone in since so she has to be taken seriously off a 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 336-223

7/4

C&D winner in July who backed it up with good fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f) 30 days ago. Needs considering despite being 3 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Little Jessture (7/4), Maria Magdalena (3/1), Faint Hope (9/2), Hidden Depths (6/1), Loved Out (15/2), Every Breakin Wave (14/1)

MARIA MAGDALENA is a long time without a victory but arrives on a good mark and with that form having been franked she is taken to come out on top. Faint Hope is also weighted to go well and next on the list ahead of C&D winner Little Jessture.
