Casilli³¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 82

33/1

Bagged a fifth success at Beverley in 8.5f handicap last July. Effective over this longer trip and she has a good record when fresh so can't be discounted after her absence.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

20/1

Kickstarted 2022 with 7.5f Beverley success and kept her form well after. Yard among the winners so she's in the mix on her return.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 79

10/3

Fair 1m2f Ripon winner at 3 who resumed with a promising fifth in 1m handicap at Newcastle in March, not enjoying the clearest of runs. Still lightly raced and weighted to go well here.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79

20/1

Lightly-raced Teofilo filly who landed 1m Redcar novice in October. Run best ignored (raced on unfavoured outside rail) in Doncaster listed event following month. Remains with a fair bit of potential on her handicap debut.

12/1

50/1

Course winner who wasn't at her best after 7 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and should strip fitter now.

10/1

Took her form up a notch when making all in 1m handicap at Newcastle in April but she beat only one back on turf at Ripon (1m) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

22/1

Got back on track after 8 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. A dual scorer in 2022 so can't be dismissed.

Forecasts

My Little Queens (3/1), Nigwa (10/3), Iato's Angel (11/2), Vindobala (8/1), Centre Court (10/1), Sophiesticate (12/1), Crown Princess (12/1), Invisible Friend (12/1), Celtic Empress (14/1), Balalaika (18/1), Zarabanda (20/1), Scotch Mistress (20/1), Graces Quest (22/1), Casilli (33/1), A La Francaise (50/1)

A highly competitive handicap with NIGWA fancied to take another step forward and come out on top. She made an encouraging comeback at Newcastle and likely has more to offer for a yard enjoying a good season. Zarabanda is a big player on her handicap debut, while My Little Queens and Crown Princess are a couple of the other more interesting ones.
