11/1

Opened account for this yard in C&D handicap hurdle last summer but failed to build on her reappearance when down the field here 16 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Form: 4140-U7

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: David Noonan| T: J Farrelly| OR: 98

11/1

Well held in bumpers/novice hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: 5045-7

Arizona Glory¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 97

3/1

Found some improvement when third on 2m Southwell handicap debut (heavy) in March, finding less than seemed likely. These likely less testing conditions may see him in better light. Unexposed.

Form: 6483-

Be Thankful^h,t¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 95

14/1

Not completely devoid of ability on the Flat and possible heavy ground didn't suit her when well held on Uttoxeter handicap hurdle debut in March. Still early days in this sphere.

Form: 437-

Sellingallthetime¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: M D I Usher| OR: 93

4/1

Modest on the Flat/over hurdles but does arrive in form after placed efforts over C&D and at Stratford in recent 13 days weeks. He's a long time without a win, though.

Form: 0906-23

Saintbury Lady³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 93

9/4

Left previous efforts behind when making a winning handicap debut for her in-form yard at Southwell (2m, good) last month. More to come so even an 11 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her.

Form: P/4868-1

Lady Marwah⁴⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 88

7/1

No impact in a couple of handicaps in early-summer 2019 and off since. Could only consider after 442 days off if the betting speaks in her favour.

Form: 3443/P5-

Forecasts

Saintbury Lady (9/4), Arizona Glory (3/1), Sellingallthetime (4/1), Lady Marwah (7/1), How's The Cricket (11/1), Excellent Team (11/1), Be Thankful (14/1), Red Charmer (16/1)

There's surely more to come from SAINTBURY LADY who can make light of an 11 lb rise and provide Fergal O'Brien with another winner. It's possible this sort of test will see Arizona Glory in a better light than the heavy ground he tackled on his Uttoxeter handicap debut and he can provide the chief threat ahead of Sellingallthetime.
