Weatherbys Hamilton Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 5m 34.6s

Davitt Road Glory^p1,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 102

14/1

Ran respectably on yard debut at Chepstow last month but still looking for first success and makes limited appeal. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 5944/3-6

Emorelle²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 101

5/1

Back from 5 months off when good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft, 5/1) 29 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims.

Form: 353-352

Ma Belle Noire^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 100

7/2

Saw the longer trip out well when creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, good to soft) on return 17 days ago. Remains low mileage and must enter calculations.

Form: 3442-5

Fine By Her¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: J S Smith| OR: 91

14/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f, good, 11/2) in May. 6 lb higher on return but respected nonetheless.

Form: 9825-51

Fenney Brook³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 88| CD

5/2

Returned to form when scoring at Hexham (20.1f) in September and backed that effort up when close second of 4 at this course (23.8f, good to firm) last month. Likely contender.

Form: 12P712

If I Say³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 88| BF

10/1

Belatedly off the mark at Worcester (20f) in September but below that level at Fontwell since and others more appealing.

Form: 2F9-817

Glance At Me¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 79

13/2

Well held in trio of novice hurdles last term but offered much more when second of 12 on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Effectively 4 lb higher now but may be capable of better yet.

Form: 986-2

Telefina³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 75

7/1

Ran up to best (on return from 5 months off) when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 33 days ago. Still looking for first success, though, and easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 754-9P2

My Granny Lily²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 71

100/1

Beaten a long way in mares' maiden/novice hurdles and likely best watched from 4 lb out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form: 07-0

Non-Runners

Martha Willow²¹

Weight: 11-12| Age: 5

T: C Gordon J: Tom Cannon

Yvette Guilbert¹

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

Forecasts

Fenney Brook (5/2), Ma Belle Noire (7/2), Emorelle (5/1), Yvette Guilbert (11/2), Glance At Me (13/2), Telefina (7/1), If I Say (10/1), Martha Willow (10/1), Davitt Road Glory (14/1), Fine By Her (14/1), My Granny Lily (100/1)

This can go to EMORELLE, who caught the eye on her return at Ffos Las last month. Fenney Brook and Ma Belle Noire head the list of dangers.
