pricedup.bet Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:15 | Winning time: 5m 15.7s

Artic Sting³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: Simon Edwards

150/1

Was sent off at big odds (200/1) and offered little on debut when well-beaten tenth of 12 in mares' maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) a month ago. Upped in trip but she looks to face a difficult ask.

Form: 0

Dear Dot^v1³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 72

11/1

On her second handicap start, made more impact than previously when when fifth of 11 in mares' event at Cartmel (22.1f, heavy) in June. However, with cheekpieces applied she failed to repeat that effort at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) last time. First run since leaving Chris Grant.

Form: 64-5058

Joueuse Royale³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 109| BF

1/1

Fair form over hurdles for Henry de Bromhead last season but below form on final outing in Ireland in May. However, shaped as if he should have made a winning stable debut when second in mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) last month, closing all the way to the line. Leading claims.

Form: 4223-42

Kottayam^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: P Neville| OR: 101

15/2

Close second only start in points and much improved from hurdling debut when third in mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) a month ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Joueuse Royale was ahead in second last time, but she should have more to offer upped in trip.

Form: 243

Last Note^h1⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden

12/1

Encouraging start to her career when runner-up in a Fakenham bumper but hasn't built on that in 2 starts over hurdles, again not seeing her race out when third of 6 in mares' novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 80 days ago. Hood now reached for upped in trip.

Form: 2-63

Raincloud^p⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 76

33/1

Remains a maiden after 14 hurdle runs, though one of better efforts when runner-up in mares' novice at Cartmel (17.2f) in May. However, having given trouble at the start she was well held at the same C&D (soft) last time. Looks to be vulnerable once more.

Form: P35-725

Taktique Gagnante^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 100

11/2

Showed some ability in bumpers and has improved with each of her 3 starts over hurdles this season, in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up in maiden at Cartmel (17.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Can make another bold bid.

Form: 830-722

Voodoo Angel⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

7/2

Fair form on second of 3 starts in bumpers and some encouragement sent hurdling when second of 14 in mares' maiden at Wexford (20f, good to soft) in May, albeit no match for the well-backed winner. One to note making first start since leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty.

Form: 8/69-2

Forecasts

Joueuse Royale (1/1), Voodoo Angel (7/2), Taktique Gagnante (11/2), Kottayam (15/2), Dear Dot (11/1), Last Note (12/1), Raincloud (33/1), Artic Sting (150/1)

Having shown fair form in Ireland, JOUEUSE ROYALE wasn't able to reel in the all-the-way winner at Uttoxeter on her stable debut, but she is well worth another chance as she goes back up in trip. Taktique Gagnante has been going the right way sent hurdling this season and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Voodoo Angel on first start for her new yard.
