Pleasure Wood Hills Theme Park Maiden Handicap

Off time: 17:51 | Winning time: 2m 27.24s

(6)

Potters Lady Jane¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L Wadham| OR: 64

20/1

Won a mares bumper at Fakenham in February 2016, and runner-up in a Chelmsford (1m5f+) maiden in October 2016, but modest in two runs following a lengthy absence and off the track again since early February.

Form: 272/06

(11)

Special Mission^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 67

6/1

Runner-up over 1m2f on her penultimate start at Lingfield, and posted a reasonable effort over 1m4f at Newcastle latest; evidently not a stable star, but a likely player nevertheless in first-time blinkers.

Form: 7-78724

(2)

Encryption³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 66

6/4

Improving, and went down fighting when beaten narrowly by Contebasse on second start in a handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month; up 2lb, but a major player in this lesser contest.

Form: 979-52

(1)

Go Fox^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 65

8/1

Ran his best race to date when tackling an extended 1m3f at Windsor earlier this month, finishing 4½L fourth to Doctor Jazz; more required, but unexposed so therefore not dismissed.

Form: 903-04

(4)

Voluminous²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 65

9/1

Comfortably held third of five behind a progressive type of Sir Mark Prescott's over 1m2f (good) here last month, and steps back up in trip seeking much more from a 5lb lower mark.

Form: 0-4673

(5)

Tinker Tailor¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 54

50/1

Nine-race maiden; off the track since March and little to enthuse over bar a respectable fourth placed AW run at Kempton (1m4f) on her penultimate start.

Form: 6-87847

(10)

Bunker Hill Lad²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

50/1

No worthwhile form whatsoever in four career starts, including when finishing last of 11 over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month.

Form: 0540

(12)

Navajo Squaw⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58

50/1

33/1 and always in rear on handicap debut at Doncaster in June (1m2f, good to firm); absent since, but by Derby winner Sir Percy is bred to be suited by this longer trip, so no surprise if she takes a step forward today.

Form: 06-88

(9)

Miss Paris¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 56

12/1

No show in three 7f runs, but upped in trip from a fair opening handicap mark and bred to be better suited by this trip (by Champs Elysees out of a 1m2f placed mare Bantu).

Form: 69-8

(7)

The Fiddler¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C F Wall| OR: 56

6/1

Ran to a similar level of form on all six starts, including over this trip at Windsor recently (sixth of 11); shouldn't prove strong enough.

Form: 878-076

(3)

Buxlow Belle¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J Quinn| T: D Menuisier| OR: 50

14/1

Didn't look to be all that straightforward when finishing 7L fourth of ten on handicap debut over 1m4f at Newmarket recently, and whilst still early days is essentially disappointing at €40,000 as a yearling.

Form: 5744

(8)

Star Of Assisi⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 45

80/1

Very modest form so far (7f-1m3f+); on paper this is essentially her grade, but she's still predicted to struggle.

Form: 0-0034

Forecasts

Encryption (6/4), Special Mission (6/1), The Fiddler (6/1), Go Fox (8/1), Voluminous (9/1), Miss Paris (12/1), Buxlow Belle (14/1), Potters Lady Jane (20/1), Navajo Squaw (50/1), Bunker Hill Lad (50/1), Tinker Tailor (50/1), Star Of Assisi (80/1)

Both Navajo Squaw and Miss Paris make appeal on pedigree as types who will relish this step up in trip in a very winnable looking maiden handicap, but others with more solid form claims include Special Mission, Go Fox and ENCRYPTION. The selection should prove capable of winning a race off this mark judged upon the strength of his 1m4f handicap efforts so far, the latest of which was a pleasing run behind the Tim Easterby-trained Contrebasse at Doncaster in July.
