Alzheimer's Society Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:13 | Winning time: 4m 8.50s

Lady Kara^h,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 105| CD

15/8

Fair form in bumpers and similar standard over hurdles, showing a good attitude when supplementing her Hereford success over C&D 16 days ago. Suspicion is that she's vulnerable under a double penalty, though.

Form: 442-311

Bontessony Doll¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: A E Jones

150/1

Unseated rider on debut but showed a bit at a huge price when 6¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Lady Kara in novice hurdle over C&D 16 days ago.

Form: U4

Colegram⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/2

€24,000 3-y-o, £21,000 6-y-o, first foal, dam, maiden hurdler in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 2½m) Fils de Roi. Won final 2 of 4 starts in Irish points and since transferred to a leading stable.

Form: 5/311-

Dancing Dame¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| OR: 108| BF

1/1

Fair form in bumpers and over hurdles in Ireland for Timothy Doyle. Failed to land the odds starting out for James Owen at Fakenham 12 days ago but it was by no means a bad effort in second. Could have more to offer.

Form: 6U086-2

Medina Blue²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris

28/1

Placed in a couple of Irish points and has caught the eye both starts over hurdles in recent weeks. Certainly has the potential to do better but she may be a handicap project.

Form: PP22-67

Doobeedee^t1²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry

33/1

Nathaniel filly. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. In very capable hands but made an unpromising start to her career when tenth in a Stratford bumper in October. Tongue tie on for hurdles debut.

Form: 0-

Likewhatyousee²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

16/1

Better than ever when making fifth Flat start a winning one at the Curragh (1½m, heavy) in October, suited by emphasis on stamina. Since changed hands for 60,000 gns and joined a successful NH yard.

Form:

Princess Of Ballea^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins

66/1

Only modest form when placed in 2 of her 3 bumpers. Badly hampered and unseated rider first on recent C&D hurdles debut.

Form: 353-U

Steal A Glance^t⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

25/1

Placed in 2 of 3 starts in bumpers this year, latterly at Plumpton in April. In good hands as she now goes hurdling.

Form: 273-

Forecasts

Dancing Dame (1/1), Lady Kara (15/8), Colegram (9/2), Likewhatyousee (16/1), Steal A Glance (25/1), Medina Blue (28/1), Doobeedee (33/1), Princess Of Ballea (66/1), Bontessony Doll (150/1)

COLEGRAM has moved to the all-conquering Dan Skelton stable after winning a couple of points and sure to be well prepared for this, she could be the answer. Lady Kara chases a hat-trick but looks vulnerable under a double penalty, so Dancing Dame and Flat recruit Likewhatyousee are feared most.
