Anja Potze Fine Jewellery Of Worcester Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 3m 57.1s

On Cloud Nine^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 91

28/1

Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in points and best effort to date under Rules when third in a novice at Bangor last time. Appeals as the type to up her game now handicapping for the first time.

Form: F278-33

Pepsiwithacap^b,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 94

40/1

Just modest form over hurdles in Ireland. Performed respectably on Flat upon joining present yard but easy to back and disappointing when pulled up over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) in May. Brought down at Newton Abbot since.

Form: 9779-PB

Three Macks¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 93

7/1

Fair maiden on the Flat up to 7f for Andrew Oliver. Best effort to date over hurdles when second in a C&D handicap hurdle last time and seems likely to feature once more.

Form: 3425-22

Vision Of Hope^h,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen| OR: 89| D

5/2

AW Flat winner who is on the up and doubled her tally in this sphere when just holding on at Market Rasen last time. Only up 3 lb and makes most appeal.

Form: 4-74121

Energy Two^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 84

5/1

Lightly-raced hurdler who made a positive step when fourth in a C&D handicap hurdle last month, doing her best work at the finish. Can improve further, so merits respect.

Form: P3-374

Bella Madonna¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: James Best| T: Simon Earle| OR: 80

12/1

Poor form in bumpers/hurdles. Switch to handicaps needs to bring about plenty of improvement.

Form: 38-655

Joyful Kit³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: H Brown| OR: 79

20/1

Modest maiden hurdler who arrives out of sorts and is hard to make a case for.

Form: 75UP8-4

Coastal Sun^h,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 77| D

8/1

Sole success from 11 hurdles starts was gained in a Ludlow claimer for Alastair Ralph in November. Yet to make an impact in handicaps for this yard but there was a glimmer of promise at Stratford last time.

Form: P81P-84

My Poem²⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 74| D

17/2

Poor handicap hurdler who ran well at Stratford when last seen 8 months ago but is likely to strip fitter for this.

Form: 6/14562-

Citizen Jane²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 77

33/1

Showed little over hurdles for Tom Symonds and, despite winning a point in between, failed to offer much encouragement on Rules debut for this yard at Uttoxeter last time. Others preferred.

Form: 58F-P17

Saddlers Quest⁹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 70

15/2

Poor maiden hurdler who looks set for another struggle.

Form: 36/7568-

Jolie Baie^h1⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 73

9/1

Offered little in a Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut and only mild encouragement so far over hurdles. May do better now handicapping in a first-time hood.

Form: 053-4

Forecasts

Vision Of Hope (5/2), Energy Two (5/1), Three Macks (7/1), Saddlers Quest (15/2), Coastal Sun (8/1), My Poem (17/2), Jolie Baie (9/1), Bella Madonna (12/1), Joyful Kit (20/1), On Cloud Nine (28/1), Citizen Jane (33/1), Pepsiwithacap (40/1)

VISION OF HOPE held off another improving sort when scoring at Market Rasen last time and, with further improvement to come, she's fancied to defy a small rise. Three Macks and Energy Two both stepped forward when hitting the frame in the same C&D handicap 19 days ago and they're likely to be involved again.
