RACE SUMMARY Very likely to be a strong race for the grade, with REPRESENTING BOB awarded the vote from what could be a very lenient hurdles mark given his chase form in recent weeks. Handicap debutants Earl of Wisdom and Gosuatri are a couple of likely improvers for top yards.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DARK FLAME trained by R Rowe, Pulborough, 133 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A host in with chances but the vote goes to FRISCO BAY. Jonjo O’Neill’s charge matched his fair hurdles form in a couple of starts over fences back in May and, provided he’s ready to roll on reappearance, he’s taken to strike with Kevin Brogan taking off a valuable 3lb. On Call opened his account over C&D last month so he’s feared most up 5lb, ahead of Galileo Silver and Eceparti.

FOURTH RACE 2.00 TWO MILES SEVEN AND A HALF FURLONGS (2M 7F 131YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS FILLIES AND MARES

THE ENAVA MARES’ HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 3) Total race value £10500 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3797, 2nd £1899, 3rd £949, 4th £475, 5th £280. (Penalty Value £4955.86) Weights raised 5lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): N Mulholland (12 wins from 96 runners, 12%) runs RUNASIMI RIVER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Mulholland (3 wins from 28 runners, 11%) runs RUNASIMI RIVER LONGEST TRAVELLER: CHLOE’S COURT trained by R Walford, Blandford, 74 miles.

RACE SUMMARY COQUELICOT was unable to match her useful bumper form in a handful of hurdle tries last season. However, fit from a spin on the Flat now handicapping in this sphere, she could be worth chancing to put it all together now blinkers are enlisted. Misty Bloom and Runasimi River head up the dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

A difficult handicap to assess with most of the field taking to fences for the first time but TOKAY DOKEY is potentially on a good mark on his hurdles form so could be worth chancing on his return from a lengthy absence. Amarillo Sky and Brewers Project both look chasing types and they head the dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

BRAVE KINGDOM’s Fontwell bumper success is backed up by the timefigure so he could be the answer on this switch to hurdling fitted with a tongue tie. Mumbo Jumbo is second choice after shaping best of the newcomers in a Newbury bumper back in March, though Camdonian, an interesting debutant from a top yard, and Coachman, a £140,000 buy following a point win, are others to take seriously.
