10/11

Found some improvement to resume winning ways in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 5 days ago, kept up to work. Much respected under a 7-lb penalty.

Form: 4P21-41

Milajess^b,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 88

7/1

Got off the mark in decisive fashion at Sedgefield in April and has found only one too good both starts since. Likely to go well again.

Form: 22212-2

Granny B^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 82

3/1

Ran best race over hurdles when second of 6 in C&D handicap (good, 9/2) 19 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Merits consideration.

Form: 7460-32

She's Got Bottle¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 79WS

40/1

Has offered precious little all 3 starts over hurdles but she was a fair winner on the Flat and at least gets a crack at a low-grade handicap now. Has had a breathing operation since last seen.

Form: 870-

Bluebella¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 76| BF| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and held in fourth on first since leaving Tom Lacey when unseating her rider in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) 14 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 60454-U

Forecasts

Auntie Maggie (10/11), Granny B (3/1), Bluebella (9/2), Milajess (7/1), Blossom Tea (12/1), She's Got Bottle (40/1)

AUNTIE MAGGIE found some improvement to resume winning ways at Stratford last week and, with the likelihood of another easy lead, she's the percentage call to follow up under a 7-lb penalty. Milajess and Granny B head the dangers.
