BetGoodwin Big John Bosh Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 5m 20.64s

Sam's Amour²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 98

10/11

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Type to do better still and makes plenty of appeal in a weak race.

Form: 2043-3

My Lady Grey^p⁴¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 92| C

11/1

Modest hurdler/chaser who was below form over the larger obstacles at this course when last seen 13 months ago. Given a chance by the handicapper, so not discounted.

Form: 3/11414-

Brown Bullet^p1,h¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: James Best| T: A Irvine| OR: 91| C

13/2

Just modest form over hurdles and, while she took a step back in the right direction at Plumpton 6 months ago, it's hard to know if he'll be tuned up for this return.

Form: 73130-5

Gardons La^h1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 89

25/1

Just a modicum of promise in 2 starts in France and has showed little for current connections. Tried in a hood.

Form: 68-7P

Miss Fedora¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 86| BF

6/1

In good form without winning in the summer until coming in only seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 119 days ago. Sort to bounce back after a break.

Form: 7P-3327

Lady Salvador²³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: J & S Best| OR: 72

4/1

Well held to date over hurdles and likely to need this first handicap outing after 7 months off.

Form: 745-

Ceci Wells^b,t1⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 68

25/1

Little solid form on the level and hasn't fared much better over hurdles. Tongue tied for the first time.

Form: 644-P07

Forecasts

Sam's Amour (10/11), Lady Salvador (4/1), Miss Fedora (6/1), Brown Bullet (13/2), My Lady Grey (11/1), Ceci Wells (25/1), Gardons La (25/1)

SAM'S AMOUR took a step forward when third at Exeter last time and this is a much weaker event, so she makes obvious appeal in a weak event. My Lady Grey is a danger despite having a long absence to overcome and Miss Fedora can't be ruled out back from a break.
