Rothay Manor Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:47 | Winning time: 5m 38.14s

On We Go^p³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 100| CD

6/1

Three-time winner last spring/summer, including twice over C&D, and did the job well when getting her head back in front at Ayr in February. Recent efforts haven't been encouraging, however, and others are preferred.

Form: 5F1PP-6

Sinndarella⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 97

13/2

Fair to say that she hasn't progressed since landing the odds in a 3-runner mares' novice at Ludlow in October 2021 but latest fifth of 13 at Bangor (19.6f, good to firm) was a creditable effort. Should make her presence felt.

Amazing Amy^p⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr C J Shine⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 96

25/1

No signs of improvement, back from 11 months off, when tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.2f, good) on yard debut 46 days ago. Has to worth a market check on handicap bow.

Form: 50/497-0

Fenney Brook³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 94

10/1

Thrived latterly last year, forging clear to make it 2 wins from last 3 starts in mares' novice handicap at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Lost action on return at Warwick last month but remains on a fair mark on none the worse here.

Form: P7121-P

Fabreze^p⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 85

11/4

Benefited from a more positive ride with an enthusiastic victory in 10-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 0/F1-641

Punk Rock Girl^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: C Collins| OR: 91

18/1

Limited impact in handicap hurdles in Ireland. Still relatively low mileage but needs to show more to figure here.

Form: 077PP-7

Bella Bluesky^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 91

8/1

Opened hurdles account at Kelso last February and positive start to the current year when third in mares' handicap at Newcastle. Mixed record since, however, only fifth at Perth last time.

Form: 3/3P96-5

Social Distancing^p1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: N McCluskey| OR: 90

66/1

Maiden pointer has gone with no recent encouragement under Rules. Hard to fancy with cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 4PP-700

Dot Cotton^h,t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 90

9/1

Fair ex-Irish maiden is yet to make a significant impact during her time with current yard, though looked to be in the process of taking a step back in the right direction until stopped in her tracks by a blunder at Newcastle last time. Not fully discounted.

Form: 93767-7

Baby Sham¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 86

9/2

Cashed in on a career-low mark in 9-runner handicap at Fakenham in May before proving surpisingly well suited by the longer trip to land a 5-runner event at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Player.

Form: 78-1521

Pure Surf^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 78

11/1

Sole win came at Sedgefield in 2021 but she went with no promise after a year off at Perth earlier this month and will need to leave that effort well behind to feature here.

Form: P54/26-P

Forecasts

Fabreze (11/4), Baby Sham (9/2), On We Go (6/1), Sinndarella (13/2), Mrs Kinsella (8/1), Bella Bluesky (8/1), Dot Cotton (9/1), Fenney Brook (10/1), Pure Surf (11/1), Punk Rock Girl (18/1), Amazing Amy (25/1), Social Distancing (66/1)

FABREZE sprang a bit of a surprise at Uttoxeter last time but she appeals as full value for that victory and can follow up under a penalty here. Fellow last-time-out winner Baby Sham is also highly respected dropped in trip, with Sinndarella and Mrs Kinsella others who could have a say.
