Lynda Gilfrin Birthday Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 14:41 | Winning time: 1m 21.06s

(10)

Tonahutu¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 72| D

9/2

Maiden winner at Chelmsford last September over 7f but beaten in two subsequent starts in handicaps but adding to a solid AW profile. Returns here off a 1lb higher mark and can travel strongly and acts on turf as well as on the AW.

Form: 42192-

Conqueress¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 71| CD

5/1

Consistent sort last year in maiden company finally getting off the mark at his fifth attempt over C&D. Made her handicap debut on seasonal reappearance probably needing the run (had 9 months off) although did show some temperament.

Form: 23221-9

(7)

Bois D'ebene^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 69

17/2

Makes her handicap debut after showing some fair form in maidens on the AW/turf running over 7f last time (turf debut) at Newbury. Gave the impression that she would be suited by handicaps and would make a decent three-year-old over this trip and further.

Form: 75-7

(5)

Limelite²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

20/1

Ran some fair races in maidens (all over 6f) with the best of them coming on his debut. Two handicap runs have shown little the latest on his reappearance at Leicester after a break and now steps up to 7f for the first time.

Form: 3709-0

(2)

Always Thankful²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: I Mohammed| OR: 69

4/1

Well supported on her seasonal return this year probably on the back of his Chelmsford maiden run working out well. Although beaten there she still showed some promise but only confirmed rather than improved on that form when fourth on his handicap debut at Windsor and now tries 7f for the first time.

Form: 45-24

(4)

Porto Ferro^b1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 67

25/1

Blinkers go on for the first time after a disappointing effort last time out at Yarmouth over 7f when a 50/1 chance and would need to improve here.

Form: 43-5159

(1)

Chicago Star¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 65

13/2

Made a step forward last time on her second handicap start and looked suited by this trip (will stay further). Probably needs to improve a little on her form so far but not ruled out here.

Form: 84-764

(12)

Baby Gal³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 64

16/1

Has shown some creditable form in handicaps (bit more experienced than these) and wasn't able to get close to a couple of less-exposed sorts last time out. Will be suited by this return to 7f and should stay further.

Form: 207-473

(3)

Hi Milady^h²³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 61| D

40/1

Only a modest performer but did win a maiden over 7f at Chester as a juvenile. Little impact in nurseries after that win and makes her seasonal reappearance here.

Form: 614480-

(9)

Moonstone Rock^p1⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Boyle| OR: 61

12/1

Made her seasonal reappearance over a mile at Windsor looking as though she needed the run and didn't help herself by not settling. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Form: 68530-6

(11)

Brexit³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 53

50/1

Poor form overall in maidens and handicaps although she may have needed her run last time out. Still not one to go overboard about and has to find more to take a hand here.

Form: 5645-8

(6)

Tigerfish^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 53| D

8/1

Her mark of 53 suggests that the handicapper is in control but she did run well against a draw/pace bias last time out at Leicester when it paid to race with the low numbers and she was drawn well away from those. Can be slowly away but not totally written off here.

Form: 531155

(8)

Venetian Proposal^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 52

66/1

Has shown her best form over 7f but looks fairly limited on what she's done so far and is probably summed up by her mark of 52.

Form: 904-680

Forecasts

Always Thankful (4/1), Tonahutu (9/2), Conqueress (5/1), Chicago Star (13/2), Tigerfish (8/1), Bois D'ebene (17/2), Moonstone Rock (12/1), Zilza (14/1), Baby Gal (16/1), Limelite (20/1), Royal Melody (20/1), Porto Ferro (25/1), Hi Milady (40/1), Brexit (50/1), Venetian Proposal (66/1)

There don’t look to be too many lurking at the bottom of the handicap here although Tigerfish can be given a chance after her Leicester effort last time. Tonahutu will be a threat if she can show the best of her AW form back on turf with Chicago Star one who could show a little more after looking to improve last time out. Always Thankful looks sure to hold her own at this level even if she looks to be more consistent than improving and this may be best left to BOIS D'EBENE who looks an improver who will be suited by going handicapping.
