Marjorie Thompsett Auntie Marj Memorial Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle
Prediction Leader
Fine Point (IRE)
0%
Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride.
Rest of field
Byron Hill (IRE)
0%
Sole hurdles win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; from 8lb higher) in October 2024; consistent this year, without necessarily looking ready to win again; third to better-fancied stablemate Cosmic Soul at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) nine weeks ago.
Cuillin Ridge (GB)
0%
Ridden out to score at Huntingdon (3m1f, novices' handicap; good to soft; from 6lb lower) in March; has since left Henry Daly for £12,500; headgear removed, and interesting to see what the market makes of his chance off a three-month break; merits respect.
Rickety Gate (GB)
0%
Back below last winning mark (Carlisle, 2m4f) but pulled up at Ayr on penultimate start, and weakened into seventh at Cartmel (2m6f; beaten over 13l) 12 days ago; others more convincing at this stage.
Ushuaia Dancer (GB)
0%
Only win came courtesy of the stewards' at Newcastle (2m6f, heavy) in January 2024; was returning from a lengthy absence when runner-up to a Skelton-runner at Newcastle (2m4f; 18-1) in March; realistic prospect of easing conditions would aid his cause.
C'Mon So (IRE)
0%
Runner-up in a point; five-race rules maiden; beaten 50l, 54l, and 36l, in three hurdle starts (2m-2m4f maiden/novices'); significant improvement is needed to make an impression on this handicap debut.
Follow The Leader (IRE)
0%
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles (massive prices) in late 2024/early 2025; productive in points (form 212) this spring, chasing home Getupearly at Witton Castle (3m) last month; tough to know what to expect but isn't totally dismissed.
My My My Delilah (GB)
0%
12-race maiden; pulled up over 2m here (soft) on penultimate start, and weakened quickly at Kelso (2m, good; sixth, beaten 21l) subsequently; continues to ease in the weights, now 17lb lower than back in January.
Malangen (IRE)
0%
Won over 2m here (good; from 13lb higher) in June 2024; seems to be gradually working back to form, a staying-on third to Fine Point here (2m, good; 100-30 favourite) latest; hopes of reversal over 2m4f on 7lb better terms.
Road To Rosley (GB)
0%
Yet to win (0-12) and beaten almost 50l in a Cartmel maiden (2m6f; 100-1) a fortnight ago; no reason to expect better for this return to handicapping; the first one to dismiss.
