Geothermal Drilling UK Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:45 | Winning time: 5m 19.24s

Broomfield Gale^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 95

18/1

Modest hurdler at best in Ireland for Robert Murphy. Tongue strap back on for handicap/stable debut and mark looks stiff-enough on the face of it.

Form: 577658

An Cailin Ciuin^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 95

10/1

Allotted a stiff mark and made little impression on handicap debut at Chepstow a month ago. This is easier, at least.

Form: 853-446

Come On Nia²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: J Martin⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 94

9/1

Telescope mare who displayed improved form away from the mud when winning a brace of handicap in May/June. Off the track 4 months so may have needed the tun at Chepstow and much better expected here.

Form: 668-118

Made For Me²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Watson| OR: 94

33/1

Runner-up completed start in Irish points (March 2023) but only minor promise under Rules so far. Hopes rest on switch to handicaps and step up in trip.

Form: 2/5-0838

Malago Rose^p⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 94| BF

15/8

Produced a career best in first-time cheekpieces to open account in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, soft) in June. Not quite at that level 11 weeks later but she's since made the switch to an in-form stable.

Form: 4334-15

Bob O Rhino^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 92

9/2

Winning Irish pointer who made her second handicap start over hurdles a winning one in 11-runner contest at Stratford (18.7f, good) in July, typically ridden positively. Sound efforts twice since and she's likely to give it another good go.

Form: 64-5124

Lizzie Rey³⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 84

18/1

Well held in bumper/3 races over hurdles, jumping poorly. Handicap debut.

Form: 5/079-

My Girl Katie^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 77

8/1

Long-standing maiden who ran one of her better races when fifth of 13 over C&D last month. Unable to land a blow at Chepstow since.

Form: 574659

Formel Park²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 76

33/1

Related to 4 winners and better effort in bumpers when third at Southwell in May. Unseated rider early on hurdles debut and well held completed outings since.

Form: 0-3U70

Olivia Kate^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 74

9/2

Just bits and pieces of form so far, failing to see it out upped to 23.6f latest.

Form: 340085

Forecasts

Malago Rose (15/8), Olivia Kate (9/2), Bob O Rhino (9/2), My Girl Katie (8/1), Come On Nia (9/1), An Cailin Ciuin (10/1), Broomfield Gale (18/1), Lizzie Rey (18/1), Formel Park (33/1), Made For Me (33/1)

COME ON NIA almost certainly needed her return to action and, with that under her belt, she's selected to regain the winning thread. Malago Rose has made the switch to a successful stable so she demands respect, with Bob O Rhino likely to be bang there again.
