AEJ Facilities Maintenance Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:49 | Winning time: 6m 6.30s

Hungry Hill^p⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 101| BF

7/2

Confirmed previous promise upped markedly in trip when runner-up on Ffos Las handicap debut (23.9f) in March. Proved a disappointment in first-time cheekpieces there 9 weeks later but it's still early days and he may bounce back.

Form: 4/8602-6

Sea Prince^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: R M Smith| OR: 89

9/2

Quickly put a miserable display behind him up in trip when second of 11 in C&D handicap (good) 25 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts with a repeat.

Form: 785-4P2

Baby Jane¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: G Boanas| OR: 87

15/8

Strong travelling sort who is better than ever at present, winning back-to-back novice events at Uttoxeter with a bit up her sleeve. Can complete the hat-trick.

Form: 62/P-711

Solway Molly²⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 86

66/1

Modest bumper winner who was in need of the experience on her first 2 starts over hurdles, but offered little when pulled up on Carlisle handicap debut in October. Off since.

Form: 107/33P-

Ebendi³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: A Wilson| OR: 85

18/1

Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien who showed a bit of promise when seventh of 11 in a novice hurdle at Carlisle (17f) in February. Has shown very little since, though, including in handicaps.

Form: P79F-90

Ultra Violet^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 80

9/2

Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles, although has been performing consistently well lately despite his limitations.

Form: 245-443

Lusitanien^p1,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 73

14/1

Maiden who was pulled up back from another 3 months off in handicap at this course (20.2f, good) 12 days ago, tailing off soon after 3 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 56/B4P-P

Blame Rose^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 72

12/1

Maiden who is limited but confirmed she's a stayer when fourth of 8 at Hexham (23.3f, good) 11 days ago, plugging on. 3 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 86P-584

Forecasts

Baby Jane (15/8), Hungry Hill (7/2), Ultra Violet (9/2), Sea Prince (9/2), Blame Rose (12/1), Lusitanien (14/1), Ebendi (18/1), Solway Molly (66/1)

BABY JANE is an improved model at the age of 8 and looks up to completing the hat-trick having scored with a bit more in hand than the winning margin implies on her most recent outing. Ultra Violet and Sea Prince head the opposition.
