ABP Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:11 | Winning time: 4m 13.20s

Karannelle^h,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 100| CD

11/2

Enjoyed a productive spell last summer, landing back-to-back handicaps under this rider (over C&D second occasion). Ran well despite failing to settle at Ffos Las 15 days and a player with the hood refitted.

Form: 522-443

Lucky Draw^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: D Bourne| OR: 100

11/2

Has caught the eye in handicaps the last twice, foiled only by veteran Green or Black on a career-low mark and a long way clear of the rest at Uttoxeter 15 days ago, shaping like a sure-fire future winner. Leading claims.

Form: 4049-2

Just Dottie¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: G Sheehan| T: R M Smith| OR: 97

9/2

Offered little in bumper/on the Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when off the mark at Perth in May. Mistakes and held in fifth back there recently but back against her own sex now.

Form: U554-15

Lenebane^t,v1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 92| BF

6/1

Promising handicap debut here last month but finished weakly (again over C&D) next time. New headgear tried and her mark has dipped a little further.

Form: 5246-34

Green Or Black^p,t¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Edward Rees⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 83| D

11/2

Capitalised on a falling mark on her second start back with the yard in similar event at Uttoxeter earlier this month, asserting late from Lucky Draw. Up 7 lb but still well treated on peak form (has won off 30 lb higher).

Form: P4PP-91

Vision Of Hope^h,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen| OR: 86| BF

2/1

AW Flat winner and opened hurdles account at the fifth attempt at Huntingdon last month. Creditable second over C&D since and respected despite 3 lb rise for yard having good spell.

Form: 54-7412

Bannockburn²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 85

100/1

Just modest form at best over hurdles and needs improvement now handicapping.

Form: 496-06

Miss Blennerhasset²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 75

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat but very little encouragement so far over hurdles.

Form: 44-9P

Forecasts

Vision Of Hope (2/1), Just Dottie (9/2), Lucky Draw (11/2), Karannelle (11/2), Green Or Black (11/2), Lenebane (6/1), Miss Blennerhasset (50/1), Bannockburn (100/1)

LUCKY DRAW has been hit with a 6 lb rise for her fine run behind veteran Green or Black at Uttoxeter but looks sure to win races in this sphere and might be up to reversing the form with Neil Mulholland's charge. Karannelle's turn might be getting nearer also.
