FCL Global Forwarding Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 18:17 | Winning time: 1m 29.68s

(6)

Miss Dd²³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: I Jardine| OR: 71

12/1

Good start to her career for Tom Dascombe, but her form tailed off on her final three outings. First run for a new stable and this could be the time of the season to catch her.

Form: 21875-

(7)

I Was Only Joking^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| BF

6/1

Has been runner-up on her last three starts, all on the AW, in novice/maiden company. Makes her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces and has to be respected.

Form: 42-22

(3)

Zahraa¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 69

7/2

Fair degree of promise in three starts as a juvenile for Robyn Brisland. Makes her handicap bow on her first start for this trainer and is well worth a check in the betting.

Form: 453-

(2)

Precious Silk^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 68

8/1

Successful on the Southwell Fibresand in February, but has been out of the frame off higher marks in two subsequent races. Looks high enough in the weights, but perhaps a first-time visor will have a beneficial effect.

Form: 5-84166

(9)

Miss Milla B²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 68

12/1

Some promise in maiden/novice company at Chelmsford, but was only seventh of eight on her handicap debut at Lingfield. Needs to find improvement off 2lb lower.

Form: 4-837

(1)

Onefootinparadise¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: P J McBride| OR: 68

7/2

Still looking for her first win after eight starts, but was just touched off at Newcastle in September and races off the same handicap rating. Jockey booking suggests a big run is expected on seasonal reappearance.

Form: 209620-

(5)

Puchita¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 66| BF

16/1

Placed twice in six starts last season when trained by Richard Hannon. Handicap mark looks high enough on first start for her new trainer.

Form: 678326-

(8)

Isabella Mayson¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: W S Kittow| OR: 66

22/1

Respectable efforts in three maiden/novice events, but could not take that level of form into her first handicap at Leicester. Races off 1lb lower on seasonal reappearance and has each-way prospects.

Form: 6266-

(4)

Porrima³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: B Haslam| OR: 65

9/2

Placed on first two outings before landing a Lingfield maiden last month. Makes her handicap debut and may have got in lightly.

Form: 3-21

Forecasts

Zahraa (7/2), Onefootinparadise (7/2), Porrima (9/2), I Was Only Joking (6/1), Precious Silk (8/1), Miss Milla B (12/1), Miss Dd (12/1), Puchita (16/1), Isabella Mayson (22/1)

Plenty of guesswork is involved with horses returning from their winter breaks, but PORRIMA has already showed her well being with a victory last month and does not look badly treated for her handicap debut. Onefootinparadise looks a big danger under her leading jockey, while Isabella Mayson, I Was Only Joking and Zahraa are others with solid claims.
