Neu-Servo Customer Support Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 5m 47.31s

Dynamic Kate^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100| CD

4/1

Returned to her best following a breathing operation when cosily winning 12-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 33 days ago by 2½ lengths from Rubys Reward. Up 4 lb but another bold showing is on the cards at these weights.

Form: 21F-361

Ma Belle Noire^b,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 96

5/1

Consistent sort who opened her account in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (20.6f) in July. Posted another good effort in the headgear when third of 8 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good) 40 days ago so she merits consideration.

Form: 233-213

Betty's Belle^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 88| BF

33/1

Fair bumper winner who arrives in good nick in this sphere, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 47 days ago on his final run for Ben Pauling. Not ruled out for her new yard.

Form: 6-55224

Toughasoldboots^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93

16/1

Doubled her tally returned to hurdling at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March but has failed to reproduce that form in 4 outings since, fitted with a first-time hood at Bangor last time. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 31-8667

Miladygrace^p1³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: M Keighley| OR: 83

22/1

Made a positive start over fences last season but hasn't kicked on so far this term, only fourth at Stratford last time. Cheekpieces go on for the 1st time back in this sphere. Others make more appeal.

Form: F12-544

Rubys Reward^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 82| BF| CD

11/4

C&D winner in July who has continued in good nick, seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 44-2127

Tre A Peni^b,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 77

11/1

Hard to rely on but she arrives on the back of a very good third of 12 to Dynamic Kate in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 33 days ago. Others remain more persuasive however.

Form: 47-3373

Oneway Express^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 82

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first form when third of 10 in handicap at Bangor (23f, good) 30 days ago. Needs to build on it with headgear retained.

Form: 3-8603

Milanese Rose^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 73

10/1

Poor maiden who ran creditably when second in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f) in June. Pulled up at Southwell since though so she needs to get back on track.

Form: 626-52P

Trickalight^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 73

11/1

Irish point winner but she remains with little form over hurdles. Likely to struggle again.

Form: 8PP-856

Orange Gina⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 71

12/1

Showed some ability in bumpers but she has offered little in her three completed starts over hurdles.

Form: 420U-79

Non-Runners

Div Ine Tara¹¹⁵

Weight: 10-2| Age: 8

T: F O'Brien J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Rubys Reward (11/4), Dynamic Kate (4/1), Ma Belle Noire (5/1), Milanese Rose (10/1), Trickalight (11/1), Tre A Peni (11/1), Oneway Express (12/1), Orange Gina (12/1), Toughasoldboots (16/1), Div Ine Tara (16/1), Miladygrace (22/1), Betty's Belle (33/1)

DYNAMIC KATE showed the benefit of a wind op when going in over C&D last month and a 4 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Ma Belle Noire is a reliable sort and appeals as the one to give Neil Mulholland's resurgent mare most to do now back in handicap company ahead of C&D winner Ruby's Reward.
