EBF Stallions Flower Of Scotland Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 18:56 | Winning time: 1m 14.54s

(5)

Yes You⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 79| BF| CD

11/4

Rapidly improving filly who has won three of her last five with two defeats coming here. However she has previously won over this C&D and capable of going close again despite 6lb penalty.

Form: 311251

Beauty Filly²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

5/2

Yet to add to debut success but first try back at this trip since. That could prove a positive after two seconds in both starts in handicap company. Has proved costly to follow as a four-time beaten favourite but should be competitive.

Form: 1-42322

Flying Sparkle^v⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84| BF

13/2

Runner-up in last season's Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar and gained a second career win at Chepstow. Quick ground against her at Windsor and is still open to improvement, however a tough mark on handicap debut.

Form: 122-314

Nuns Walk¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| CD

2/1

Had Yes You behind off worse terms when winning over this C&D in what was a third success this year. The drop back from 7f proved ideal and much prefers these underfoot conditions. Looks a leading contender.

Short Call¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S A Gray| T: R Menzies| OR: 77

25/1

Debut winner for Mick Channon but a backward step next time.. Has since changed hands twice, the latest for just £2,500. Tough ask in Listed class on return but doesn't look very well handicapped for first run in this grade.

Form: 13-0

(3)

Economic Crisis¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 73| CD

40/1

Has loved this track in the past but despite 2lb drop in the weights still needs further assistance from the handicapper after disappointing the last twice.

Form: 543259

(6)

Souls In The Wind^b,e/s1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: R J Osborne| OR: 69| CD

40/1

Won twice over this C&D for her previous stable last year. Well below that in two starts this campaign and although return to this trip and a softer surface will help, remains best watched.

Form: 8501-74

Forecasts

Nuns Walk (2/1), Beauty Filly (5/2), Yes You (11/4), Flying Sparkle (13/2), Short Call (25/1), Economic Crisis (40/1), Souls In The Wind (40/1)

Yes You goes well here and has to be respected as she continues on the upgrade but faces a tough task to reverse C&D form with NUNS WALK who herself is still improving with age particularly when getting her favoured soft ground. Beauty Filly doesn't look quite as well handicapped but remains lightly-raced while Flying Sparkle will appreciate a return to an easier surface.
