Murrayshall Meetings And Events Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

4YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 4f 35y | 10 Runners | Turf

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Joshua Thompson⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 97

Still looking for a breakthrough victory but soon left behind a lesser effort when third of 5 at Market Rasen in March. Again ran well when second to an unexposed rival at Fakenham a month ago and he can give another good account.

Theirshegoes^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 94| D

8/1

Struggled for form over the winter, but in first-time cheekpieces she fared better when making the frame over this trip at Kelso in April. Backed that up when 2 lengths fifth of 8 at Hexham last time, despite seeming unsuited by the drop back to 2m.

Beat The Retreat^v,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁸⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 91| D

7/1

Returned from 5-month absence with victory at Ayr in December. Below form next outing, but in first-time visor he bounced back with a comfortable success at Musselburgh (2½m) in February. Found the return to 2m against him when well-beaten fourth of 14 here 20 days ago.

Jack Dempsey¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Maggs| T: I A Duncan| OR: 91

14/1

Runner-up on first of 3 outings in bumpers. Let down by his jumping first 3 starts over hurdles, but took a step forward when fifth of 8 in 2m novice at this course 19 days ago. Could yet do better as he goes handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 05/UU95-

Betteryouthanme³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: William Maggs| T: R M Smith| OR: 87

15/2

Has shown a bit more with each of his 3 starts over hurdles (all at 2m) this spring, keeping on for fifth in 11-runner novice at Hexham a month ago. Could have plenty more to offer as he goes up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 6/FF075-

Malangen⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 83| CD

7/1

4-time course winner whose latest success came at Market Rasen (21f) last summer. However, ended 2025 out of form and has fared little better in 2 outings this spring, remote third at Hexham (2m) 4 days ago.

Form: 883P7-3

Knockeranna Rose¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Power| T: S Corbett| OR: 82

7/2

Remains a maiden but has got back on track with placed efforts the last twice, beaten only by a handicap debutant in 8-runner contest over this C&D 19 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 684832-

Loro White^t,p1⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Lewis Saunders⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 80WS

5/1

Hinted at ability in bumper but little impact in a trio starts over hurdles in February (in first-time tongue strap latest outing). However, no surprise to see her leave those efforts behind given a longer break ahead of handicap bow, upped in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form: 6608-

The Longest Day^t,p¹⁰⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Roisin Leech⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 75| C

14/1

Both career victories came over 3m here back in August 2023. Third at Newton Abbot on return from 14-month absence in September, but has gone backwards from that effort in 4 subsequent outings.

Form: 6/34U04-

Ivynator²³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J C McGregor| OR: 72

40/1

Long-standing maiden over hurdles (winner on the Flat) but finished runner-up in this race last year. Has gone the wrong way since, though, pulled up both starts in September. Has enough to prove on return from 7 months off.

Form: P7/20PP-

Forecasts

Loro White (5/2), Livano Bello (3/1), Knockeranna Rose (9/2), Theirshegoes (15/2), Jack Dempsey (10/1), Beat The Retreat (12/1), Betteryouthanme (14/1), The Longest Day (14/1), Malangen (14/1), Ivynator (66/1)

BETTERYOUTHANME offered more encouragement than previously when making late headway in a Hexham novice last time and, with this longer trip promising to suit, he's open to improvement as he heads into handicaps. Loro White isn't taken lightly, though, as she also makes her handicap debut, with Knockeranna Rose another to consider.
