toteexacta Pick The 1st And 2nd Fillies' Novice Stakes

Off time: 14:57 | Winning time: 2m 6.69s

(4)

Lady Persephone³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: William Carson| T: A King

33/1

Previous hurdles winner who battled well to win at Wolverhampton last time on only second Flat start. Penalty makes life tougher here and may struggle against younger rivals.

Form: 41

Espadrille¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

4/5

Dubawi filly that cost 800,000 gns as a foal. Made all to win cosily on final start in November at Kempton (1m). Step up in trip likely to suit and comes with significant potential for powerful yard.

Form: 51-

(7)

Amourice^h²²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 83

5/1

A maiden after four runs last season. Showed lots of promise and a good attitude when second in a handicap at Newmarket (7f) on final start in 2017. That's the best piece of form on offer here and likely to be more to come now stepped up in trip.

Form: 4922-

(8)

Catch The Tide^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller

100/1

Beaten similar distances on both starts to date having started at 40/1 and 66/1. Similar story on the cards here.

Form: 6-9

(2)

Dawn Of Reckoning¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

33/1

Nice pedigree. Ran green on both starts as a two-year-old and has potential to show some improvement this term. Steps up in trip today but handicaps likely to be the target on the back of this.

Form: 68-

(6)

Delice

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: A King

33/1

Delegator filly. Dam was a winner over 2m and 2m1f. May improve for the experience. Yard also runs Lady Persephone.

Heeyaam¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti

9/4

Beaten a neck by Broderie over C&D in a similar race last time. Should be bang in the mix again with a similar effort.

Form: 2-2

(1)

Queen Of Connaught^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell

14/1

Hooded for debut and just over 6L behind Heeyaam over C&D three weeks ago. Unlikley to turn the tables with that rival today but should improve.

Form: 4

(9)

Streets Of Joy⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller

100/1

Shown very little on two starts to date and will need to improve significantly to play a part here. Steps up in trip.

Form: 0-0

Forecasts

Espadrille (4/5), Heeyaam (9/4), Amourice (5/1), Queen Of Connaught (14/1), Lady Persephone (33/1), Delice (33/1), Dawn Of Reckoning (33/1), Catch The Tide (100/1), Streets Of Joy (100/1)

ESPADRILLE brings about plenty of potential and may prove hard to beat for a yard that are going very well at the moment. The step up in trip is likely to suit the daughter of Dubawi. Amourice comes here with the best form in the book and rates as the main danger ahead of Heeyaam.
