Bobby Beech Is 60 Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 5m 0.80s

Blue Las⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| C

5/2

Won 2 bumpers and looks similarly promising over hurdles, building on opening Ffos Las second in November when easily going one better at the same venue 4 weeks later. 5½ lengths third of 5 to in Sandown Grade 2 since and brings unexposed potential to handicap debut.

Form: 411-213

Kantagua Du Large^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 110

50/1

Showed fairly useful form when winning a 4-y-o chase (in cheekpieces) in France but offered little both starts in novice hurdles since returning this year and big step forward required now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: P133-73

Miss Maverick³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: G Hanmer| OR: 109| CD

9/1

Recorded hat-trick in maiden/novice hurdles here last spring and shaped well after 8 months off when third in a C&D handicap in January. Jumping has lacked conviction in 2 starts over fences subsequently but return to this track/hurdling can see her in a much better light.

Form: 1-113PP

Presenting Doy⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: H Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 109| D

5/2

Irish point winner who confirmed promise of hurdling debut when landing the odds in 7-runner mares' maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) last month. Made rather heavy weather of that but she remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: F1-41

Either Or³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108

13/2

Fair form when landing mares' novice on hurdles debut at Warwick (19f) last January but exploits have proved mixed since, her finishing effort again lacking when fourth of 11 in handicap back at Warwick (19f) 5 weeks ago. Still, she isn't one to write off given connections.

Form: 21P3-P4

Hello Cello^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 99

17/2

Some promise in bumpers and similar story in trio of hurdle starts, not far off her debut form when sixth in 15-runner mares' maiden at Huntingdon (20.6f) 37 days ago. In good hands so feasible to think she could do better again now handicapping.

Form: 6-4276

Don't Tell Rosie^h³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 96

9/2

Telescope mare who is progressing steadily, finding only a similarly unexposed one too good when second of 8 on handicap debut at Taunton (19f, soft) 39 days ago. Remains open to further improvement and she's not out of things for yard firmly amongst the winners.

Form: 5642

Non-Runners

Sweet Magic³⁶

Weight: 10-10| Age: 7

T: A Ralph J: J J Burke

Forecasts

Blue Las (5/2), Presenting Doy (5/2), Don't Tell Rosie (9/2), Sweet Magic (6/1), Either Or (13/2), Hello Cello (17/2), Miss Maverick (9/1), Kantagua Du Large (50/1)

An interesting mares' handicap with the narrow vote in favour of PRESENTING DOY. She made heavy weather of landing cramped odds in a mares' maiden at Lingfield 46 days ago, yet she undoubtedly remains with potential, and is of interest now handicapping for her in-form yard. Don't Tell Rosie, Blue Las and Sweet Magic head up the dangers.
