Kingsway Claims Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 15:47 | Winning time: 1m 29.30s

Mulhimatty¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Hills| OR: 84| D

10/1

Very game when making a winning start over 7f at Newbury (good to firm) and ran well for a long way when pitched into a York Listed event over 1m (soft). Remains open to improvement and opening handicap mark looks reasonable.

Brogan^p1⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 81| BF| D

8/1

Had shown promise in maidens prior to winning on her handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good) last back-end. Hasn't really kicked on from there this season and was a disappointing favourite last time out. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 21-6927

La Celebs Ville^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76

20/1

Had proved hard to win with until suddenly kicking off this year with a brace of 1m wins at Haydock over 1m (quick and soft ground). Has struggled off a revised mark since and this drop in trip doesn't look of obvious benefit.

Form: 8-11455

11/8

Off the mark in good style over 7f at Redcar (good to soft) on her third start and by no means disgraced in tough fillies handicap at York last month when fifth of 14. Less on her plate here and looks one to consider.

First Experience^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Kieren Fox| T: L Carter| OR: 73| CD

16/1

Experienced mare who produced arguably her best effort when winning this race 12 months ago from a 3lb lower mark. Hasn't had her head in front since in 11 subsequent starts and needs to squeeze out improvement from somewhere.

Always Thankful^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 75| D

7/1

Comparatively lightly-raced, she won back-to-back handicaps at Yarmouth (7f, soft) and Haydock (1m, good to soft) before being hopelessly outclassed in a Group 3. Returns to a more realistic level now but would still need a career best.

Form: 248110

Crafty Madam⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: C G Cox| OR: 72| BF

7/1

Speedy sort who won her maiden over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in May. Disappointing next time out on her handicap debut at Goodwood (first attempt at 7f) and reappears after more than three months off with a stamina query to answer.

Form: 4-217

Snow Squaw^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 72| D

5/1

Only win from 11 attempts came in a 7f Salisbury maiden on rattling fast ground in April. Went close over 1m on much easier ground at Windsor in July but two lesser efforts have followed. More needed.

Forecasts

Caridade (11/8), Here's Two (9/2), Snow Squaw (5/1), Crafty Madam (7/1), Always Thankful (7/1), Brogan (8/1), Mulhimatty (10/1), First Experience (16/1), La Celebs Ville (20/1)

Easy Redcar winner CARIDADE acquitted herself well in a much stronger handicap at York last month and the handicapper may have over-reacted in dropping her by 3lb. With improvement likely and her yard going great guns, she could take some stopping in this, though Mulhimatty looks potentially well-treated on her handicap debut returning from a break. Recent C&D winner Here's Two looks the pick of the remainder.
