David Leighs 10yrs At True Clarity Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 2m 15.21s

Saint Helena^b⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Fran Berry| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 62| C

10/1

Course winner on two occasions over a shorter trip last year her form this year has been modest to say the least and arguably she doesn't want as far as this.

Form: 674-466

Drumochter¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| OR: 68

6/4

Certainly looks to be heading in the right direction and showed some improved form on her handicap debut last time out at Newmarket over a mile. This looks a little easier than that race at HQ and she should handle the 2f step up in trip.

Form: 7353

Fanfair²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65| CD

6/5

One of the leading protagonists here and the only C&D winner in the field with that win coming off a 10lb lower mark on her penultimate start. Showed a little more progress to win at Lingfield on the turf last time out handling the cut in the ground well but this mark will take her up to a career high.

Form: 58-3411

(8)

Krafty One²¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S Hitchcott| T: M Scudamore| OR: 51

10/1

Her form overall looks poor and she returns from a break here with the cheekpieces tried for the first time on her last start removed and others are much preferred.

Form: P764/6-8

(6)

Coup De Vent⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: F Sweeney| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45| D

16/1

Has to run from 4lb out of the handicap and has yet to fire at all this year and all hope of the headgear bringing about any improvement appears to have been abandoned.

Form: 8-77689

Forecasts

Fanfair (6/5), Drumochter (6/4), Bermondsey Belle (5/1), Celtik Secret (6/1), Tomorrow Mystery (7/1), Saint Helena (10/1), Krafty One (10/1), Mistress Viz (12/1), Unsuspected Girl (14/1), Coup De Vent (16/1)

Fanfair brings some solid form to the party here but the handicapper might just have got hold of her now and DRUMOCHTER looks to have the stronger chance based on her last run at Newmarket with this increased trip looking to suit. None of the others look particularly progressive although Bermondsey Belle is worth another chance in handicaps along with Celtik Secret for whom handicapping might prove the catalyst for a better showing.
