Changing Young Lives At Jamie's Farm Fillies' Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)

4YO only | Class 1 | 1m 7f 216y | 9 Runners | Turf

La Luna Artista⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 125| D

11/10

Won Exeter bumper on debut in October and successful in 2 of her 3 juvenile hurdles since, including the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February. Open to further progress from what looks a workable opening mark.

Form: 1151

Made U Blush⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 118| D

4/1

Fairly useful Flat winner for Jonathan Portman. Beaten at short odds on hurdle debut but has made no mistake twice since, latterly a listed event at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft). Definitely more to come for top yard.

Form: 311

Love Sonnet⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 114| D

11/1

Progressive 2-time scorer on the Flat in Ireland and has made a bright start to her hurdle career, winning juveniles at Hereford and Newbury (both 2m, good to soft). Not in the same form when 5¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Manlaga in Victor Ludorum at Haydock (2m, good to soft) 70 days ago.

Form: 2114

Cloaks Of Gold^t⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: David Bass| T: M Comley| OR: 112| D

13/2

Made it 2-3 over hurdles when seeing off 6 rivals in 19f Stratford juvenile (soft) 47 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. One of 2 solid contenders for Max Comley.

Form: 121

Only One Blue^p⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 108

16/1

Made a winning hurdle debut at Sedgefield in October and very consistent in defeat since, including 3 lengths second of 6 in C&D handicap (soft) 7 weeks ago. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 12332

The Procrastinator³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 105| D

8/1

Postponed filly who made a winning debut in Doncaster bumper and justified support on her hurdling bow at Hereford (2m, soft) in February. Hasn't matched that form when placed twice since and not obviously well treated from this opening mark.

Form: 16132

Queen Maeve³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR: 102| BF

18/1

Best effort in her 3 starts when fourth of 12 in 2m Ludlow maiden (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Likely improver now switching to handicap company for Dan Skelton.

Form: 534

Siorai^h,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 101| BF

11/1

Fair form on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and similar form when runner-up on 2 of 3 hurdle starts for Harry Derham. Has been a bit too keen for her own good but the likely truer pace of a handicap may help her to settle better.

Form: 522

Whitletts^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: H Dickin| OR: 98

50/1

Promise when placed on 3 of her 4 hurdle starts (trained by Dan Skelton first 3) but improvement will be needed if she's to strike from 1 lb out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form: 32P3

Forecasts

La Luna Artista (2/1), Made U Blush (9/2), Siorai (13/2), Only One Blue (7/1), Cloaks Of Gold (8/1), Queen Maeve (8/1), The Procrastinator (10/1), Love Sonnet (14/1), Whitletts (25/1)

Progressive pair LA LUNA ARTISTA and Made U Blush have earned their top weights on the back of graded and listed wins and may dominate, with preference for the former on the back of her impressive display in the Adonis at Kempton. The likeable Only One Blue may prove best of the remainder.
