Cigamia³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: W McCreery| OR: 99| D

18/1

Useful dual winner, gaining the latter success in a 3-runner race over 1m at Killarney last month. Raced only on good or softer so likely ground conditions an unknown. An improved effort will be needed to overcome this mark.

Form: 15-521

(17)

Zanbaq²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 99

11/1

Third in a 1m Goodwood listed either side of novice wins at Kempton and Haydock (both 7f). Likely she has more to offer now moving into handicap company.

Form: 1-31

(21)

Heredia²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 98

7/2

Dark Angel filly who is 3-3, doing very well to keep that unbeaten record intact after meeting trouble in 7f York handicap on reappearance, quickening up smartly to nail the reopposing Espressoo near the finish. Pedigree provides hope that she'll stay 1m. Leading claims.

Form: 11-1

(26)

Mashaaer^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson| T: H Spiller| OR: 96| BF

50/1

Runner-up on all 4 starts, showing improved and useful form in Pretty Polly at Newmarket (1¼m) last month. Has been turned over at short odds in a novice since, though. Cheekpieces on now going down in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 2-222

(6)

Love Interest^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 95

18/1

AW debut winner last autumn and better form in defeat this term, particularly when 2½ lengths third of 12 to Fonteyn in listed race at York (1m, good to firm) 35 days ago. Open to further progress. Respected.

Form: 1-33

(12)

Wilderness Girl²⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 93

33/1

Goodwood maiden winner last summer but not seen since finishing seventh in Group 3 Prestige back there at the end of August. Not obviously well treated for this handicap debut/reappearance but her rider's 5 lb claim is certainly an asset.

Form: 417-

(22)

Minwah⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Botti| OR: 93

80/1

Fairly useful maiden at up to 9.5f on AW in UAE for Doug Watson. Plenty of improvement will be needed if she's to a make a successful handicap/turf debut for her new stable. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 22-5232

(24)

Crenelle⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| BF| D

5/1

Turned over at short odds on AW debut but made no mistake in 1m Newmarket maiden 11 days later. Failed to make the expected progress when 9¾ lengths third (Mashaaer 5 lengths ahead in second) in Pretty Polly back at Newmarket since but retains potential now handicapping back over 1m.

Form: 313

(16)

Espressoo²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90| BF

16/1

Progressive this term, winning Ayr maiden and Chelmsford handicap (both 7f). Another step forward when pipped by Heredia at York (7f again) since. May struggle to turn the tables on that one but 1m should suit and she's an each-way contender.

Form: 342-112

(23)

Lullaby²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 90| D

28/1

Made it fifth time lucky when just holding on in 1m Leopardstown maiden on reappearance in April. Limitations seemingly exposed back in Group races since but she should find life a bit easier at this level.

Form: 689-180

(4)

Kings Joy^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| BF| D

18/1

AW debut winner in December and improved efforts in defeat since, just failing in 1m Kempton handicap 16 days ago. Dettori seemingly prefers Crenelle but she remains open to improvement.

Form: 1-32

(7)

Golden Spice¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: G G Margarson| OR: 86

25/1

Filly who is going the right way, making it 4 wins in 6 starts this term (all 7f) when merely pushed out to make all at Leicester 17 days ago. 1m asks a different question of one who isn't short of speed but she's dangerous to discount in her current mood.

Form: 112311

(3)

Ellade¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 85| D

66/1

Second success of the year when edging ahead close home in 7f Newbury handicap 17 days ago. Fine back at 1m but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Form: 7-61401

(28)

Gatecrasher Girl¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Knight| OR: 84| D

18/1

Pulled out more improvement when making it 3-3 in handicaps (all around 1m) at Doncaster 13 days ago. Raised another 4 lb but she should have more to offer.

Form: 996-111

(19)

Washraa⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 84| D

16/1

Has improved with each start, winning handicaps at Wolverhampton (7f) and Nottingham (1m) this spring. Ought to be competitive if that trend of race-by-race progression continues.

Form: 522-11

(11)

Persist²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

7/1

Fairly useful form, relishing the step up to 1m when getting off the mark in 1m Ripon maiden on reappearance, well on top at the finish. Likely has more to come for top stable now moving into handicap company.

Form: 432-1

(18)

Golden Mayflower^p1,t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 83

50/1

Golden Horn filly who made a successful start at Lingfield (7f) in October. Shaped well when second over 1m at Kempton on reappearance but she has disappointed in listed company over 1¼m at Newbury since. Has cheekpieces added to tongue strap. Clearly early days but others are more obvious.

Form: 1-26

(10)

Discretion²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 83| D

12/1

Winner of 1¼m novice at Beverley and 1m handicap at Carlisle last month, keeping on well at latter despite hanging to her left. Yet another in this line-up who could have more to offer.

Form: 5-411

(15)

No Nay Nicki³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83

33/1

Left debut well behind when a wide-margin winner of 6f Pontefract fillies' maiden last June. Not seen again this spring but she's acquitted herself with credit in a Doncaster novice and York listed (both 7f). Leaves impression she'll stay 1m now handicapping.

Form: 61-47

(13)

Tamarama²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 83| D

25/1

Some good efforts prior to making all in 8.5f Beverley maiden last month and she followed up back in handicap company at Ripon since. This much tougher but she is heading in the right direction.

Form: 33-3211

(8)

My Silent Song¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 77| D

80/1

Both wins over 1m at Pontefract, getting up in the dying strides for latter success 11 days ago. 5 lb penalty now stepping up significantly in class. A good deal of improvement will be needed.

Form: 361-431

(1)

Morgan Fairy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82| BF| D

40/1

Won 1m Kempton maiden on third and final 2-y-o start. Creditable third (Kings Joy nose ahead in second) in 1m handicap back at Kempton on her recent reappearance. Will need to have come on a fair bit for that.

Form: 421-3

(29)

Invigilate⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 82

20/1

Won a 7f Leicester novice last autumn and improved again when length second of 7 to the reopposing Washraa in 1m Nottingham handicap on her reappearance 6 weeks ago. It's unlikely this well-bred filly from a very good stable will have reached her limit after only 4 starts.

Form: 531-2

(5)

Fresh Hope³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82| D

6/1

Didn't find much after travelling powerfully when beaten at shorts on her 1¼m reappearance and proved suited by the drop back to 1m when making a successful handicap debut at Doncaster 5 weeks ago. More to come from her and much respected for a trainer/jockey with a very good recent record in this.

Form: 42-31

(14)

Present Moment²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 81| D

66/1

Took a 1m Redcar novice last October on just her second start. Raced freely and weakened to finish well held in 1¼m Goodwood listed on her reappearance 4 weeks ago. Drop back to 1m likely to help now handicapping.

Form: 61-6

(9)

Pink Carnation^p1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 80| D

33/1

Has progressed with each start, proving suited by the step up to 1m when seeing off 8 rivals in Nottingham maiden 31 days ago. Cheekpieces added. Not obviously well treated from this opening mark but she should have more to come.

Form: 531

(27)

Aunt Bethany^b1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: A Watson| OR: 78

80/1

Won a maiden over 7f on Newcastle's AW last September. Creditable second of 6 in 1m Newmarket handicap 5 weeks ago but she'll need to pull out more for blinkers if she's to make her presence felt in this much deeper handicap.

Form: 3219-72

(2)

Augmentarium¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76

80/1

Won 7f Kempton novice last autumn. Creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Gatecrasher Girl in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to firm, 9/1) on reappearance 13 days ago. 2 lb out of the weights here. Likely best to look elsewhere.

Form: 371-4

Heredia (7/2), Crenelle (5/1), Fresh Hope (6/1), Persist (7/1), Zanbaq (11/1), Discretion (12/1), Washraa (16/1), Espressoo (16/1), Cigamia (18/1), Kings Joy (18/1), Love Interest (18/1), Gatecrasher Girl (18/1), Invigilate (20/1), Golden Spice (25/1), Tamarama (25/1), Lullaby (28/1), Pink Carnation (33/1), Wilderness Girl (33/1), No Nay Nicki (33/1), Midheaven (33/1), Morgan Fairy (40/1), Mashaaer (50/1), Golden Mayflower (50/1), Present Moment (66/1), Ellade (66/1), My Silent Song (80/1), Augmentarium (80/1), Aunt Bethany (80/1), Minwah (80/1)

HEREDIA needed plenty in hand of her mark to overcome the trouble she met at York last time so a 7 lb rise may not prevent her stretching her unbeaten record to 4, particularly as the longer trip this afternoon shapes as if it should suit. Fresh Hope represents a trainer/jockey combination which has won this twice in recent years so she's a must for the shortlist. Invigilate and Persist are a few of many other possibles in this ultra-competitive 3-y-o fillies' handicap.
