Light Laughter^p1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 70

13/2

Showed promise without winning for Dermot Weld in Ireland and shaped encouragingly over C&D on her stable debut last month, beaten less than 3L. Didn't act on fibresand latest but dangerous to dismiss here sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 44/65-53

Pretty Bubbles^v¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 65| CD

7/1

Has been a fine servant to connections with 11 wins but has failed to score in her last 18 outings. Mark has fallen to interesting levels, however, and has been shaping as though this return to 7f is what she needs.

Form: 2652-47

Magic Mirror^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 63| BF| CD

5/2

Equally adept over 7f/1m, she won successive races around this time last year on this track and also captured back-to-back handicaps here in the autumn. Now on a career-high mark, however, and just found wanting the last twice.

Form: 62113-6

Hipz^v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 62| C| D

5/1

A winner over 6f here in the past, she recorded the last of her seven wins 10 months ago and hasn't been disgraced in two recent attempts over 1m for this yard. Remains feasibly-treated as she drop back to a more suitable trip.

Form: 1845-34

(6)

The Special One^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR: 60| BF| D

9/2

Three times a winner on turf but handles this surface fine on the evidence of three solid placed efforts over 7f at Lingfield this winter. Looks sure to play a prominent role once again off her current mark.

Form: 61433-2

Baby Gal⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 57

15/2

On a losing run of 17 but had been performing with credit prior to a lesser effort over 1m at Lingfield last time. Unlikely to be far away back down in trip if putting her best foot forward.

Form: 64-3255

(4)

Monarch Maid¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 48

10/1

Won a few races earlier in her career but went on a 22-race losing streak prior to scrambling to a 6f victory at Chelmsford earlier this month. Not an obvious one to follow-up.

Form: 80-6421

Forecasts

Magic Mirror (5/2), The Special One (9/2), Hipz (5/1), Light Laughter (13/2), Pretty Bubbles (7/1), Baby Gal (15/2), Poppy In The Wind (8/1), Monarch Maid (10/1)

An interesting fillies handicap in which The Special One is likely to have her supporters in her quest for a first AW victory following a narrow recent defeat over this trip at Lingfield. She looks sure to play a leading role but it could pay to take her on with experienced campaigner PRETTY BUBBLES whose mark has now tumbled to interesting levels on the back of a lengthy losing streak, particularly as this return to 7f is what she has been crying out for. Light Laughter could take some stopping if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect whilst both Hipz and Baby Gal are likely to appreciate this drop down in trip.
