Witheford Equine Barrier Trials At Lingfield Park Fillies' Handicap (AW)

Off time: 16:17 | Winning time: 1m 10.22s

Bungee Jump³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 87| C| D

8/1

Good record at the track (two wins here) and in general, has held her form well this season. Bit below par at Ascot last time but possible to find excuses for that, and more likely to run her race than a few here.

Form: 133235

Titan Goddess¹³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: M Murphy| OR: 83

18/1

Form earlier in the year was very in-and-out and the handicapper is slow to relent. Not seen out since May and has no great record fresh, so it's not hard to think she'll need this run. Others are more persuasive.

Awesome^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 85

9/2

Tale of steady improvement this season and comes here off the back of a hard-fought win at Newbury. Up 3lb but that's less of a worry than this extra furlong, which asks a new question. However, she's game and will give it her best shot.

Form: 11-3251

Equimou⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: R Eddery| OR: 83

8/1

Never in it at Ascot last week and not given a hard time, hasn't really had her conditions this year but this surface should be fine (has won at Chelmsford) and she's simply too well handicapped to rule out. May be better at 5f than 6f, though.

Rose Berry^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Irineu Goncalves| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 78| C

4/1

Over a year since she last got her head in front and a few too many placed efforts for comfort, but despite not winning at this trip yet she acts well enough at it to think that she can once again challenge for places from a fair mark.

Seprani^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 76| CD

11/4

C&D winner last time out and the effort can be marked up as she was hampered early on, although was helped by the second/third taking each other on too early. Nevertheless, that took her to 2-2 over C&D and she clearly goes well here.

Diamond Lady²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 76| BF| CD

9/2

On a good mark if her form of the summer is anything to go by, went close under softer ground at Nottingham two starts ago but acts well on this surface and the quicker they go up front early the better her chance late on. Not discounted.

Kath's Lustre²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 69| CD

14/1

C&D winner in April but regressive since then and might find herself out of her comfort zone in this company. Couple of moderate efforts lately and others hold better claims to the top prize.

Form: 435954

Forecasts

Seprani (11/4), Rose Berry (4/1), Diamond Lady (9/2), Awesome (9/2), Bungee Jump (8/1), Equimou (8/1), Kath's Lustre (14/1), Titan Goddess (18/1)

This should be run at a solid gallop and it might suit the closers. DIAMOND LADY doesn't really win enough to have maximum faith in her but this looks a suitable opportunity and from a good draw, and with the excellent Rossa Ryan booked, she can take her chance if the gaps open late. Bungee Jump rarely runs a bad one and should take some prizemoney home, with Seprani another to hold an obvious chance, given his course form. Keep an eye on Equimou too - 6f is probably a bit far for him but would be of interest if turning up at Yarmouth next week.
