Double Delight Hat-Trick Heaven Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 20:48 | Winning time: 2m 4.07s

Ashazuri^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 70| D

14/1

Makes her course debut on last winning mark and will appreciate the drop in grade following a solid run at Goodwood. Got a bit short of room there and will appreciate the extra furlong. Should be competitive.

Form: 313365

Special Mission^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72| BF

7/2

Remains a maiden after 11 starts but on a really consistent run of form without winning. Drop in distance shouldn't be an issue but a bit more required off 3lb higher.

Form: 443223

(9)

Peace Prevails³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 72

7/1

Comes here off the back of an eye-catching third at Brighton when having to come very wide. Sole win came over further and would ideally like a stiffer test but is still progressing and looks a leading contender.

Form: 0-62153

(6)

Exeat¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

6/1

Six-race maiden who had raced to a consistent level in four starts this campaign but looked an unconvincing stayer on first try at this trip when disappointing at Newmarket.

Form: 033453

Yaa Mous¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 68

5/2

Lightly-raced and progressing quickly this season, culminating in a battling success after a protracted duel at Leicester. They pulled a long way clear of the third and the runner-up has franked the form since. Can kick on again upped in distance.

Form: 58821

(2)

Imperial Choice^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 68

4/1

Maiden following six starts but is slowly progressing and ran her best race yet on first try at this distance. More to offer but will need extra again to gain breakthrough success.

Form: 564532

(10)

Deduce^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 61| D

12/1

Twice a winner in France but has struggled on her last four starts including the last twice since returning from hurdling. Best watched in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 635967

Skirrid Hill¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 64

33/1

Showed promise on debut but has arguably gone backwards in two starts since. Extra test of stamina may help on handicap debut but a bit more required.

Form: 388

(5)

Alizeti¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H Candy| OR: 64

16/1

Bred to need this extra test of stamina and was staying on over a mile at Kempton. Could show big improvement on handicap debut and one to consider.

Form: 4-04

(8)

Blue Harmony⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 62

66/1

A better horse back on the AW but her form tailed off this year for Karl Burke. Makes new stable debut but remains with plenty to prove.

Form: 500464

Forecasts

Yaa Mous (5/2), Special Mission (7/2), Imperial Choice (4/1), Exeat (6/1), Peace Prevails (7/1), Deduce (12/1), Ashazuri (14/1), Alizeti (16/1), Skirrid Hill (33/1), Blue Harmony (66/1)

Peace Prevails would need a truly run race to produce a second career win but she's going the right way and looks a major player. YAA MOUS gets a narrow verdict as there was a lot to like about the manner of her first success and she's rapidly progressed since going handicapping. Ashazuri didn't quite get the run of things last time and should get closer over a more suitable trip. Alizeti is also one to note as she moves up in distance.
