Racing TV Club Day Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:11 | Winning time: 5m 27.37s

Miss Carbo^h⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 4| Weight: 12-1| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

3/1

Fair ex-French hurdler who showed improved form on handicap debut over a longer trip when readily winning 6-runner event at Hereford last week. Officially 2 lb 'well-in' here under a penalty and fancied to be in the shake-up.

Form: 225761

Theirshegoes^p1⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 96

12/1

Won twice last season but struggling for form this time around, tailed off at this track when last seen 3 months ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Form: F-329F8

Vanilla Dancer²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 95

13/2

Placed twice at the turn of the year before snapping a losing run in 5-runner Catterick mares' event in February. Not in the same form at Carlisle subsequently, but this step back up in trip rates as a plus.

Form: F63214

Ebselysees¹⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 91

11/1

Ran up to best in a change of headgear when second of 8 in handicap at Huntingdon on November but not in the same form back there the following month. Consistency not her strong suit so hard to know what to expect on first start for her new yard.

Form: 636-P25

Georgie's Malt²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 87

17/2

Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles and failed to find any improvement for the switch to a handicap. Yet to try beyond 2½m and further progress may arrive when doing so.

Form: 45F845

Take A Hike^p1,t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 81| CD

13/2

Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break over C&D in November. Disappointing the last twice and the handicapper drops her another couple.

Form: 4714P7

Parish Star^h,t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol| OR: 80| BF

15/8

Improved for current yard, winning at Newcastle before following up at Southwell in good style. Disappointed when bidding for a quick-fire hat-trick at Carlisle but worth another chance back from a short break with hood/tongue strap back on.

Form: 58-3115

Am I Bovvered^h³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 78

40/1

No impact in bumpers/over hurdles. Needs this switch to a handicap to prove transformative.

Form: 4-08P55

Weight: 11-8| Age: 7

Forecasts

Parish Star (15/8), Miss Carbo (3/1), Take A Hike (13/2), Vanilla Dancer (13/2), Green Bonnet (8/1), Georgie's Malt (17/2), Ebselysees (11/1), Theirshegoes (12/1), Am I Bovvered (40/1)

Miss Carbo is sure to be popular having bolted up at Hereford last week, yet she may have to play second fiddle to PARISH STAR, who found her winning run coming to an end at Carlisle last time but has been freshened up since and returns in reapplied headgear. This step back up in trip should suit Vanilla Dancer so she completes the shortlist.
