Mulberry Hill^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 114| D

2/1

Fair handicap hurdler who was in the process of running well when departing on chasing debut at Ludlow in May. Shaped quite well back hurdling at Market Rasen and she needs a second look. Yard also saddles Call Me Tara.

Form: 5168-F4

Call Me Tara^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Daire Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| BF

13/8

Winner of 2 of her 3 starts in maiden/novice company last summer and reappearance third at Ludlow was a creditable effort. Last-fence faller tried over fences last time (looked held by the eventual winner prior to her departure) and she merits respect on handicap debut back hurdling.

Form: 21213-F

Walk Of No Shame^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108| BF

7/4

Opened hurdles account over 2m at Lingfield in February and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces, she found just one too strong in a 4-runner Worcester handicap (2½m, good) last month. 2 lb nudge tolerable and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 5126-32

Autumn Blaze²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 66

125/1

No promise in 2 bumpers and similar story since switched to hurdles, no improvement on the back of a wind op when making handicap debut at Worcester. Very difficult to fancy from a long way out of the weights.

Form: P60-046

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to board prices only - deduction 25p in the pound

Forecasts

Call Me Tara (13/8), Walk Of No Shame (7/4), Mulberry Hill (2/1), Komedy Kicks (11/4), Bon Retour (10/1), Autumn Blaze (125/1)

A chance is taken on BON RETOUR, who has failed to fire in a handful of appearances for this yard but has now slipped below her last winning mark and is entitled to come on for her spin at Market Rasen where she was returning from a 3-month break. Walk of No Shame, Call Me Tara and Komedy Kicks all have low-mileage over hurdles and are feared in that order of preference.
