Fbc Manby Bowdler Mares' Handicap Hurdle (5) (Class 5)

Distance: 2m 4f
Age: 4 years old+
Runners: 11
Prize: £6,450
Race status: Weighed In

No. 12

Blue Sans (Ire)

Trainer: Fergal O'Brien
Jockey: Mr Tom Broughton
Age: 8
Weight: 12st 0lbs
OR: 96

Form:

Won twice over hurdles in the first half of 2021/22 season (including over C&D) but disappointing last term. Has tumbled in the weights as a result and she'd be folly to rule out for her top yard with cheekpieces back on (arrives fit from points).

Trainer: Matt Sheppard
Jockey: Stan Sheppard
Age: 7
Weight: 11st 13lbs

No. 7

Whenthepennydrops

Trainer: Dan Skelton
Jockey: Tristan Durrell
Age: 7
Weight: 11st 3lbs
OR: 85

Form:

Struggled in first 2 handicaps but was in the process of leaving those efforts behind when, fitted with cheekpieces, fell 2 out at Southwell (20.4f, soft) early last month. Not disgraced when third under this rider at Ludlow a fortnight later and she's one to consider.

Trickalight (Ire)

Trainer: Deborah Cole
Jockey: Chris Ward
Age: 7
Weight: 10st 12lbs

Form:

Successful between the flags in April 2021 but hurdles form is modest at best and she has been pulled up last 2 outings. Cheekpieces applied.

Valentine Getaway (Ire)

Trainer: Jonjo O'Neill
Jockey: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.
Age: 5
Weight: 11st 11lbs
OR: 93

Form:

Closely related to the classy Queens Brook and positives to glean from her efforts in mares' maiden hurdles in October. However, she made little impact back on return in February and having been strong in the betting, couldn't improve sent handicapping last time. Remains early days.

Sinurita (Ire)

Trainer: Neil Mulholland
Jockey: Richie McLernon
Age: 7
Weight: 11st 6lbs
OR: 88

Form:

Third of 4 finishers sole start in Irish points in October 2020 and showed more than previously under Rules after a wind operation when third in maiden hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has since switched yards and she could have a say on handicap bow.

Faerie Cutlass

Trainer: Kim Bailey
Jockey: David Bass

Hinted at promise in a bumper and in a trio of novice events in this sphere but ran poorly switched to a handicap last time. Best to look elsewhere.

Form:

Underwent a breathing op after pulling up in a bumper and not little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles. Could prove a different proposition now handicapping upped in trip.

Timeform Verdict

Several in with a squeak but a chance is taken on BLUE SANS, who endured a miserable 2022/23 campaign but can get back on track for her top yard arriving fit from points/having tumbled in the weights. Sinurita, Whenthepennydrops and Barely Famous are just a handful of possible dangers.
