Spa Motors Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 5m 0.95s

Land Girl's Luck¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Aimee Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 100| D

9/4

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor last summer. Put in another good shift when runner-up back from a break over 2m here recently and she's a live each-way candidate now returned to a more suitable trip and with Aimee Jones again booked.

Broadway Honey²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 96

11/1

Half-sister to the yard's smart staying chaser Broadway Boy and she appeared to take a small step forward when third in a C&D novice in November. However, progress was not forthcoming on her handicap debut back from a break at Ludlow last month. Yard also runs Hey Flint.

Border Gem⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 93| BF

9/2

Close second in a bumper last spring and showed ability in maiden/novice company, not least when second in a 7-runner mares' event at Wincanton in November. Has failed to improve for the switch to handicap company the last twice but she has at least been eased 3 lb since her latest run,

Hey Flint^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 92

25/1

No show in a trio of novice hurdles and there were very few positives to take from her recent handicap debut over this C&D. Hopes now pinned on the addition of cheekpieces working the oracle.

10/3

Still looking for first success but took a step back in the right direction when finding just one too good starting out for this yard at Exeter (18.5f, soft). Reproduction of that effort would give her a major chance, for all that she doesn't appear to be the strongest of finishers.

Form: 36P-902

Miss Carbo^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

11/4

Fair ex-French hurdler who was runner-up on debut for new yard in 2m Warwick maiden in December. Hasn't replicated that in 3 subsequent outings but she could have a say now handicapping off what looks a potentially decent mark.

Forecasts

Land Girl's Luck (9/4), Miss Carbo (11/4), Reel Orange (10/3), Border Gem (9/2), Midnight Ginger (7/1), Broadway Honey (11/1), Miss Fedora (16/1), Hey Flint (25/1)

The 4-y-o MISS CARBO wouldn't be the first from her yard to improve for the switch to handicap company and, judged on her Warwick effort on debut for present connections in December, this mark looks a very fair one. Reel Orange is the one to beat based on her recent second when starting out for this yard at Exeter but she didn't find a great deal when it came to the crunch that day, which is a slight concern. Land Girl's Luck performed with credit here last time and she is best of the rest.
