9 Tickets On Saver Saturday - 4th January Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:45 | Winning time: 5m 4.44s

Linda Moon³³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 108

13/2

Picked up where she left off the in the spring when good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good, 3/1) 33 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 324-432

Love Of Neymore⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 107

40/1

Improved to get off the mark in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April, responding well. Shaped as if amiss sent chasing at Ludlow 6 months later and now back over hurdles.

Form: 9/P431-P

Jaminska¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 106| BF

17/2

Fair winning hurdler who stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up over 18.5f at Exeter last month. Run best excused back at that venue since given her saddle slipped early on the final circuit.

Form: F44-62P

Time In The Sun⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 105

16/1

Left previous efforts over hurdles behind when second on qualifying run in 14-runner mares' novice here (21.3f, soft) in February. Looked held when falling later that month and has disappointed both subsequent starts.

Form: 402F4-P

Sweet Caryline^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: J Tizzard| OR: 101

9/2

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark switched to handicap company in 5-runner event at Fontwell (19.1f, good) 30 days ago, by 2¼ lengths from Ask Her Out. Nudged up 6 lb but should be capable of even better given her pedigree.

Form: U/7-271

Just Go For It^t²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: K Bishop| OR: 100| C

22/1

Course winner who possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Mitchell Hunt (after 7 months off) when a well-held third of 9 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 4130-63

Mairis Icon¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 98| C

11/1

Course winner who shaped as if retaining all her ability after 10 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Form: 34415-6

Miss Goldfire^t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 97

11/1

Bumper winner who left her hurdling debut form behind when runner-up in maiden at Worcester in August. Not quite in same form both starts since however, including on handicap bow at Exeter last month.

Form: 1/8-0257

Imperial Jade²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 95

5/2

Largely disappointed last term but got back on track following a breathing operation when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow on return. Unlucky not to finish closer back up in trip over C&D since and remains of interest.

Form: 7606-33

An Cailin Ciuin^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 93

12/1

Merely matched previous form when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 22 days ago. More needed for win purposes.

Form: 53-4464

Ask Her Out¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 81

10/1

Bumper winner who confirmed the promise of her last 2 starts when opening her hurdle account in 15-runner handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 15 days ago. 1 lb out of the weights here in a better-class of handicap but still respected as a last-time-out winner all the same.

Form: 680221

Forecasts

Imperial Jade (5/2), Sweet Caryline (9/2), Linda Moon (13/2), Jaminska (17/2), Ask Her Out (10/1), Miss Goldfire (11/1), Mairis Icon (11/1), An Cailin Ciuin (12/1), Time In The Sun (16/1), Just Go For It (22/1), Love Of Neymore (40/1)

IMPERIAL JADE was unlucky not to finish closer over C&D on her most recent outing, having been shuffled back leaving the back straight, and there's surely a handicap in her from her current mark. Sweet Caryline is in a deeper handicap than the one she won at Fontwell, but her pedigree provides plenty of hope for better still, with Linda Moon likely to go well again.
