Sandringham Stakes (Fillies' Handicap) (Str)

Off time: 17:01 | Winning time: 1m 39.61s

Magnetic Charm³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| D

7/1

Beat a useful sort (runs in the Coronation Stakes) last time in Listed company and a 5lb rise for that success looks perfectly fair. Soft ground an unknown but solid claims otherwise.

Form: 3164-1

(28)

Coral Beach^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 100

10/1

Kept busy as a juvenile but rewarded with a Group 3 success at the end of the campaign. Beaten in the French 1,000 Guineas on return and she was a no show in the Irish version of that race last time. Could do better now back in handicaps.

Form: 3151-88

(27)

Stay Classy^h⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: R Spencer| OR: 98

25/1

Won a decent handicap at Doncaster as a juvenile and took her form to a new level when placed in a Group 3 at Maisons-Laffitte in October. Struggled at Newbury on return but may still have more to give this season.

Form: 12122-9

(17)

Ice Gala²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: James McDonald| T: W J Haggas| OR: 95

16/1

Impressive when bolting up in a novice event at Catterick in October. Took advantage of a nice handicap mark on return at Salisbury but well beaten in Listed class since. Respected with the chance the step up in trip could eke out more.

Form: 2413-17

(21)

Gypsy Spirit⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 95

25/1

Hasn't won since debut. Respectable third in a valuable race at Newmarket towards the end of last year and not disgraced at Chantilly when last seen; others may be better handicapped.

Form: 2733-73

(1)

Modern Millie³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M R Channon| OR: 94

40/1

A winner on debut. Best effort since when placed on the round course here (1m) but doesn't look particularly well-handicapped on her fifth at York last time in Listed class.

Form: 1-635

(22)

Garrel Glen²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Kingscote| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 92

50/1

Won her second and final start of 2018. Well beaten in the Guineas last month though and no obvious excuses when fifth of nine at Goodwood last time in Listed class. Vulnerable back down in trip.

Form: 61-05

(19)

Invitational⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 92

12/1

Left her debut form behind when winning her next two starts and the form of her latest success has been franked by the second and third since. Feasibly handicapped from this opening handicap mark. Turf debut.

Form: 0-11

(13)

Nonchalance¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 91| D

8/1

Improved markedly from her debut to win her next two starts at Haydock and Newmarket. Had plenty in hand last time in what looked a decent race and handicapper hasn't gone overboard with her mark. Interesting runner back up in trip.

Form: 411

(26)

Model Guest⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: G G Margarson| OR: 91

50/1

Still a maiden after eight starts. Only fourth of nine over C&D last month and that form hasn't worked out. This is plenty tougher; hard to fancy.

Form: 2324-54

(15)

Layaleena³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 91| D

10/1

Winner on debut and improved from reappearance to win at Nottingham last time dropped in trip. 8lb higher and shouldn't mind this slight drop back in trip. Not ruled out for yard in flying form.

Form: 156-81

(14)

El Gumryah³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: M Barzalona| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 91| D

66/1

Shaped with promise as a juvenile and defied big odds (20/1) when winning at Kempton on her return. Very disappointing at York last time but that run too bad to be true and not one to write off here.

Form: 332-10

(24)

Concello^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 91

100/1

Won three of her six starts as a juvenile but well beaten in two Listed runs and there has to be a concern she hasn't trained on. Handicapper slow to relent.

Form: 1318-46

(16)

Lady Madison⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 91| D

14/1

A winner on two of her three starts and very impressive on reappearance at Windsor. Form franked by the runner-up and more progress to come. Workable mark for handicap debut.

Form: 14-1

(18)

Hotsy Totsy³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 90

7/1

Performed with great credit when third of 19 on Newbury debut and bolted up at a big price at Salisbury next time. Didn't need to improve to win at Kempton and quite possibly let in lightly by the assessor for handicap debut; Spencer booked.

Form: 311

(6)

Aim Power³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 90

40/1

Just one win from seven starts. Running well in defeat towards the end of last year and looked in need of the run on reappearance. Starting to look feasibly handicapped on some of her form.

Form: 14366-4

(25)

Desirous²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 88| D

11/2

Only narrowly denied by subsequent 1,000 Guineas third and Nell Gwyn winner. Has won on both starts since either side of the winter and 6lb rise for the latest effort looks fair. Unproven on slower ground.

Form: 6221-1

(9)

Maamora¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 88| D

14/1

Improved markedly from two to three-years-old and belatedly off the mark in good style at Ripon last time out when she never saw a rival. The form of that maiden doesn't look particularly special but could well have more to give.

Form: 78-2221

(3)

No Way Jose²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: F Norton| T: B J Meehan| OR: 87

50/1

Won her sole AW start but 0-7 on turf. In too deep in Group company towards the end of last year but shaped like a return to form may be near last time at Leicester. Needs the step up in trip to bring out some improvement.

Form: 1350-92

(12)

I'm Available⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding| OR: 87| BF| D

8/1

Two wins from six starts and looked like the winner over C&D last time before she was caught by one close to home. 7lb higher now though and in a tougher race.

Form: 421512

(23)

California Love²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R Spencer| OR: 87

66/1

Improved from debut to win her next start and appreciated the drop in class on AW last time at Chelmsford. Makes her seasonal debut and will need to have improved in the interim to play a part here.

Form: 417761-

(8)

Flighty Almighty^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 87

33/1

Shaped with some promise on debut here last year and won on reappearance on AW. Out of her depth in Listed class last time but still completely unexposed and had looked promising previously at Wolverhampton. First-time cheekpieces on.

Form: 5-16

(10)

Kimblewick³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| D

50/1

Winner on debut but she was a shade disappointing on return and that form hasn't been franked. Didn't build on that in Listed class last time at Newbury. Drops back in trip and hard to fancy.

Form: 1-28

(7)

Spanish Aria¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82| BF| D

25/1

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when a winner at Chelmsford. Well beaten on return though and might struggle from 2lb out of the handicap in a race of this depth.

Form: 03421-6

(2)

Star Of War⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: J Quinn| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

66/1

Justified odds on favouritism in good style on return at Kempton and running okay in defeat since but has much more on her plate here and finds herself 2lb out of the handicap.

Form: 725-124

(5)

Whimbrel¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80

16/1

Very green on debut as a juvenile but improved from reappearance to win well at Chelmsford last time. Previous winner who is well bred was back in second that day so not one to entirely rule out, despite the fact she's out of the handicap here.

Form: 7-31

(4)

Thanks Be³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 80

33/1

Stuck to her task well to finish runner-up at Nottingham last time but didn't look like a drop in trip would be in her favour that day and she's 4lb out of the handicap for a much tougher test.

Form: 55-22

HOTSY TOTSY must have been showing more on the track than she was at home given her starting prices on her first couple of runs and there's every chance she's capable of more improvement up in trip here from a nice handicap mark. Whimbrel isn't one to underestimate despite having to race from out of the handicap while Magnetic Charm and Invitational both have solid form claims.
