Racing To School Celebrating 25 Years Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:35 | Winning time: 5m 0.85s

Hello Cello^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 100

8/1

Successful in similar company at Fontwell last October but didn't give her running on return to hurdles there last time, when possibly still feeling the effects of a fall over fences 3 months prior.

Form: 2315F6-

Mistral Blue¹⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98

18/1

Backed up last season's Hereford success when runner-up at the same track on reappearance, but she ran no sort of race when last seen at Huntingdon in early-December.

Form: PP41/2P-

Innisfree Pearl²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 98

9/2

Made it back-to-back seconds in handicaps when chasing home an all-the-way winner at Hereford last time, and she ought to go close over this slightly longer trip.

Form: 4422-

Shesonnet¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 97

33/1

Finished a flattering second at Uttoxeter before running poorly on qualifying run last December, and the handicapper hasn't done her any favours.

Form: 5852P-

Jessie Jump Jet^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 86

16/1

Wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap when third behind Innisfree Pearl at Hereford on her latest start, and she cannot be totally discounted over a slightly longer trip.

Form: 85P/383-

Flying Pimpernel²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 86

14/1

Showed fair form to place in bumpers, and while she didn't make much of an impact in maidens, there may be better to come now handicapping over a longer trip.

Form: 283446-

Crystal Box³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 83

20/1

Unpromising in points before finishing well beaten at long odds in a trio of hurdles. Does at least benefit from the switch to a low-grade handicap.

Form: 450U7-

Jlow^h,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: R Potter| OR: 83

11/1

Placed twice in handicaps last summer, and while below form in 3 starts this year, a hood is now added to her usual tongue strap and she's one to note for support off a much-reduced mark.

Form: 346P46-

Abbey Law^p,t1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 83

28/1

Has lost her way since winning a maiden at Fakenham last year and hopes rest on the fitting of a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 714/P4P-

Burgeon³⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 81

33/1

Offered little in a trio of maidens this time last year, though hails from a capable yard, and at least warrants a look in the betting upped in trip on handicap bow.

Form: 5/56-

Luna Run^p¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 77WS

4/5

Reported to have a respiratory issue again when third of 9 at Plumpton on final start for Evan Williams last October, though she's had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for her excellent new yard, and looks interesting.

Form: 1/U5373-

Mc'flo³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 72

25/1

Looks limited and has fared no better for the switch to handicaps.

Form: 670P65-

Non-Runners

Eskimo Sam³⁰

Weight: 10-9| Age: 7

T: A Ralph J: Lee Edwards

Forecasts

Luna Run (4/5), Innisfree Pearl (9/2), Hello Cello (8/1), Jlow (11/1), Flying Pimpernel (14/1), Jessie Jump Jet (16/1), Eskimo Sam (16/1), Mistral Blue (18/1), Crystal Box (20/1), Mc'flo (25/1), Abbey Law (28/1), Shesonnet (33/1), Burgeon (33/1)

LUNA RUN looks an interesting recruit for the Harry Derham stable, and she gets the vote in an open-looking race. Flying Pimpernel could do better on handicap debut, while Innisfree Pearl is expected to give her running again. Jlow is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
