Chasetown Civil Engineering Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:12 | Winning time: 3m 56.70s

Rose Of Siena²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 99

15/8

Placed twice in bumpers and comfortably best effort to date over hurdles when third at Perth 3 weeks ago. Another step forward seems likely, so she makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 5/5248-3

Lucky Draw^h⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: D Bourne| OR: 94

5/1

Modest on the Flat and similar form over hurdles. Better than the result (left with plenty to do) at Exeter 48 days ago and it's still early days for her in this sphere.

Form: 4049-

Toughasoldboots²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93

5/1

Doubled her tally returned to hurdling at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March but was disappointing at Newcastle 23 days ago. Drops back in trip and it's too soon to write her off.

Form: 36431-8

Shipton Moyne¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 98

28/1

Poor form on the Flat but sprung a 20/1 surprise on her Market Rasen hurdle debut last summer. Failed to back it up at Stratford next time and was down the field on the level recently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 16-

Noonie^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 93

15/2

Fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Ed Bethell. Had wind op before pulled up in novice hurdle at Doncaster but much more like it last two starts. Has scope for better still now attentions are turned to handicapping.

Form: P2-3

Rhyme Scheme⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 83

11/1

Regressive on the Flat and has yet to better modest form over hurdles. Fell at Southwell last time and others make more appeal.

Form: 0655PF-

Green Or Black^p,t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Edward Rees⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 76

14/1

It's now twenty two runs since her last win in 2019 and she didn't offer much on first start back with this yard (after a long absence) at Fontwell 3 weeks ago. Something to prove.

Form: 4/P4PP-9

Ruby's Pearl^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Harrison Beswick⁽³⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 74

5/1

Only poor form shown thus far and no impact at Southwell last time. Needs to up her game if she's to make any sort of impression.

Form: 7/0P34-7

Rocco Molly^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 68

50/1

Well held in a bumper/over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Kelso last month after a breathing operation. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0U57-8

Forecasts

Rose Of Siena (15/8), Lucky Draw (5/1), Toughasoldboots (5/1), Ruby's Pearl (5/1), Noonie (15/2), Rhyme Scheme (11/1), Green Or Black (14/1), Shipton Moyne (28/1), Rocco Molly (50/1)

ROSE OF SIENA took a step forward on handicap debut at Perth 3 weeks ago and there's reason to think she can do better still, so she's preferred to Noonie, who makes her handicap debut from a potentially lenient mark based on Flat form. Toughasoldboots is another one to consider.
