Stella Artois Silk Series Lady Riders' Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 17:47 | Winning time: 2m 10.33s

Villette¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 82| D

10/1

Respectable efforts on the whole since winning at Kempton in November, and best forgiven latest run at Nottingham when doing too much in front. Bit to find on balance, though.

Form: 516-379

(7)

Double Reflection¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Ms Lisa O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

14/1

Back to form despite showing a tendency to hang when runner-up at Brighton last month, and pretty reliable when finding her feet last season, so another good run looks assured.

Form: 2217-72

(9)

Infanta Isabella^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 81| D

7/2

Won at Leicester a year ago, and good efforts to be second over 1¼m at Newbury either side of a winter break. Reliable mare won't be far away.

Form: 40102-2

(8)

She Believes⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 74| D

8/1

Landed a hat-trick in 2017 before drawing a blank in a disappointing campaign last year. Back in the groove when winning at Lingfield (1¼m, good/firm) last time. Bit fortunate there, but fairly treated on old form.

Form: 9000-41

(5)

Ashazuri^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 69| D

6/1

Won twice on turf at Lingfield last year, and dropped below her last winning mark before beating Double Reflection at Brighton last month. Bit more to do off revised mark, but not ruled out.

Form: 65248-1

(3)

Lady Alavesa^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 67

14/1

Has been performing well on the AW since the turn of the year, winning over 1m at Lingfield in January. Runner-up over this trip there last time, but more on her plate back on turf.

Form: 3-13532

(1)

Cabarita⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

8/1

Promise in qualifying runs, and duly improved when ½L third of 9 to Rock Up In Style on handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Can do better still as her stamina is drawn out, and leading claims here.

Form: 94-33

(2)

Inclyne²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

5/1

Best effort in maidens when fourth over 7f at Newmarket last year, and just a respectable run when fifth there on return. Needs to improve, but unexposed at this trip, and market check essential.

Form: 84-5

(4)

Air Force Amy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 73

9/2

In the frame on all four qualifying runs, but handed a stiff mark given she'd shown her hand, and just a respectable fifth on handicap debut at Salisbury (1¼m) last month. Needs more.

Form: 323-27

Forecasts

Infanta Isabella (7/2), Air Force Amy (9/2), Inclyne (5/1), Ashazuri (6/1), She Believes (8/1), Cabarita (8/1), Villette (10/1), Lady Alavesa (14/1), Double Reflection (14/1)

CABARITA improved despite the race not getting to the bottom of her at Wolverhampton last time, and a well-run contest at this trip should see her progress again. She's preferred to reliable sorts Infanta Isabella and Double Reflection, with handicap debutant Inclyne open to improvement and needing a market check.
