Good second over this trip at Lingfield in November, and not discredited when fifth of 11 to Critical Thinking at Wolverhampton (7f) last time. Does seem just in the grip of the handicapper, though.
Won back-to-back turf races in October and has remained competitive since with latest third of 6 to Yaa Mous at Wolverhampton on a par with those efforts. Claims if not losing too much ground at the start.
Goes well here, and improved for step up to 1m when landing a C&D handicap in November. Not best placed when third here last month, and one to keep in mind given her positive profile.
Matched debut form at second attempt when 2¾L third of 6 to Festival of Ages over 1m2f here in November. Will improve further, but needs to, as opening mark appears quite harsh.
Has improved for switch to handicaps at this trip, winning at Chelmsford last time by 1¾L from Sweet Nature. More to come on that evidence, and will be hard to beat here.
Form of penultimate third to Pinnata has worked out well, with the first two both successful since, but unable to improve on that when second at Wolverhampton last time. Still merits respect on that effort, though, and shortlisted.
Off the mark with blinkers fitted on final start for John Gosden over C&D, and ran as well as could be hoped for new yard at Lingfield. Cheekpieces tried now, and this run should reveal more.
Won three of her last last four for Neil Mulholland, including twice over C&D. Similar form for new yard, and easy to forgive a lesser effort in a muddling affair at Wolverhampton last time. Should bounce back.
Not firing on all cylinders since joining current yard, and held by Margie's Choice on recent Lingfield running behind Ghazawaat. Something to prove on balance.
Forecasts
Yusra (4/1), Roman Spinner (9/2), Happy Escape (5/1), Red Chois (5/1), Ventura Blues (6/1), Jamaican Jill (7/1), Pure Shores (10/1), Margie's Choice (16/1), Autumn Leaves (50/1)
YUSRA is unexposed and won in good style on her second handicap start at Chelmsford, so looks the percentage call, with Roman Spinner ,Red Chois and Pure Shores all worthy of consideration on recent efforts.
- Yusra
- Roman Spinner
- Red Chois
