Amazing Michele¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

13/2

Returns from a six-month break. Won a novice event on soft ground last year so conditions shouldn't be an issue. Needs to improve on what she was showing at the back of last season but rider claims a handy 5lbs.

Form: 43187-

Renny's Lady⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: P D Evans| OR: 72

25/1

Won at Lingfield (AW) last time when the step up to a mile did the trick. Goes up another two furlongs today and nudged up 4lbs for that win but every reason to believe she could improve again.

Form: 48-451

Dream Malfunction^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Tuite| OR: 72

20/1

Seemed to improve for the step up to 1m4f at Lingfield on penultimate start but bombed out badly at Wolverhampton next time. Drops in trip today on switch to turf and cheekpieces added. These condition ask different questions altogether.

Form: 4489-26

Iconic Code¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 71

5/1

Won with some authority on handicap debut at Pontefract (1m, soft) on latest start. Bumped up 7lbs for that win and has now switched yards. Step up in trip is likely to suit and you can make a solid case for a repeat effort.

Form: 4461-

Ann Without An E^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 71

14/1

Mark may have been flattered by her effort in a Newbury Listed event last season but it is now falling to a more realistic level. Plugged on the one pace when well beaten at Lingfield on her reappearance and hood goes on now back on turf.

Double Reflection⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 68

3/1

Ran really well when beaten by just a handicap blot on return at Windsor (1m2f, good) last week. Repeat of that effort would put her right in the mix once again and dangerous if getting a soft lead.

Form: 1736-72

Apache Blaze¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Brisland| OR: 68| CD

7/2

Won well at 25/1 on handicap debut over C&D 10 days ago. Nudged up 5lbs for that win but was well on top close home and no reason why she shouldn't go very well again.

Form: 86-61

(5)

Hyanna¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

7/1

Twice a beaten favourite in four turf starts as a juvenile, including on soft ground on her final start at Pontefract (1m) in October. Reappearance effort at Newcastle (1m, AW) was full of promise and is not easily dismissed.

Form: 3475-4

Point In Time¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Tate| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65

12/1

Three runs in novice events on the AW at the back-end of last year. Opening mark for handicap debut looks fair but will need to improve to take a strong hand today, although that is more than possible.

Form: 865-

Forecasts

Double Reflection (3/1), Apache Blaze (7/2), Iconic Code (5/1), Maid Up (5/1), Amazing Michele (13/2), Hyanna (7/1), Point In Time (12/1), Ann Without An E (14/1), Dream Malfunction (20/1), Renny's Lady (25/1), Calling Rio (25/1)

An interesting fillies handicap and you can make a firm case for several of them. Iconic Code won really well on her return and is of interest once again up in trip for her new yard. Any market moves for Calling Rio would be significant with Jim Crowley a positive booking. Double Reflection also goes on the short list having run into a handicap good thing last time but the selection is MAID UP. She moves into handicaps off a decent opening mark having hinted this step up in trip should bring about plenty of improvement.
