Sky Sports Racing On Sky 415 Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 19:18 | Winning time: 1m 31.82s

(1)

Infanta Isabella^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 92| D

10/11

Very consistent this year and rewarded for that consistency with a win at Newbury last time dropped to 1m for the first time producing a career best. Given a hefty hike in the weights (10lb) for that success but should make another bold bid.

Form: 102-231

(3)

Daddies Girl²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 87| D

6/1

Went without a win last year but put that right on her first start this year taking advantage of a drop in the weights after six months off. Highly tried in a couple of starts since then this ease in grade should enable her to go close again.

Form: 350-167

(4)

Nkosikazi²⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

4/1

Showed much improved form when winning at Redcar (1m) last July; failed to cope with a hefty hike in the weights for that victory ending the season poorly. Sold for 30,000 guineas over the winter; possible a break/new yard will see her bounce back.

Form: 031690-

Roman Spinner^t¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: Rae Guest| OR: 77| D

25/1

Yet to score on turf but has taken the runner-up slot three times on the surface suggesting she's not a forlorn hope. Needs to bounce back from a rare poor effort on the AW last time over 7f; needs an end-to end gallop to be seen at her best.

Form: 13-3247

(5)

Zoraya^t¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 75WS

14/1

Both turf wins came with cut in the ground but they were gained a fair while ago and the losing run has started to get one of a lengthy kind. First run back from a second wind surgery having been well below form when last seen.

Form: 555-289

(6)

Chica De La Noche^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: S Dow| OR: 74| C

5/1

In good form since last December (four wins) including one on turf all at 7f and continued in good heart last time just bumping into one who was a little less-exposed. Course winner over slightly shorter, very much included in calculations.

Form: 153112

Forecasts

Infanta Isabella (10/11), Kitcarina (3/1), Nkosikazi (4/1), Chica De La Noche (5/1), Daddies Girl (6/1), Zoraya (14/1), Roman Spinner (25/1)

It won’t come as any surprise if William Haggas coaxes Nkosikazi back to her best form after she ended last year on a downturn and a market move for her should be noted. Infanta Isabella isn’t easy to dismiss given her career-best form last time but she is back in trip (slightly) again with the handicapper having been severe on her last time although a Cieran Fallon’s 7lb claim will help to reduce that impost. CHICA DE LA NOCHE showed last time out that she could cope with this mark and despite the rise in grade is given the chance to show that she can continue her good run of form. Daddies Girl shouldn’t be written off too easily having been highly tried on her last two starts.
