Corona Fillies' Novice Stakes

Off time: 15:52 | Winning time: 2m 52.05s

(1)

Just Heather^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 38

100/1

Yet to hit the frame in 28 starts on the Flat and still hard to know what her best distance is. Unlikely to be involved once again.

Form: 708660

(2)

Leannes Lady⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: A Berry

100/1

Tailed off in this race last year on sole previous start on the Flat, three-figure prices and pulled up on two recent starts over jumps and makes no appeal now.

Form: 3-

(5)

Lots Ov³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

100/1

Has already racked up 21 races without success, routinely going off at three-figure prices lately and looks up against it on the formbook.

Form: 980058

(6)

Misty Breese²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 41

50/1

14-race maiden, often doing herself no favour with tendency to start slowly. Goes up in trip now but looks an unlikely winner on paper.

Form: 897-446

(9)

Litigious⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

4/6

Lawman filly is a half-sister to smart 1m4f-2m2½f winner Making Miracles. Stylish 6L winner on debut at Goodwood last month and could be back there for a Group 2 at the Glorious Festival next week. The one to beat.

Form: 1

(3)

Dubious Affair⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Quinn| T: Sir Michael Stoute

5/1

Frankel filly, hasn't set the pulse racing in her two runs at Lingfield and Haydock so far, but should soon be capable of doing much better.

Form: 57

(4)

Inclyne⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

2/1

Improved for step up in trip with near misses at Ascot and Nottingham in May, possible not suited by soft ground at Salisbury (1m4f) early last month and could well bounce back now.

Form: 84-5235

(8)

Pensee²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton

16/1

Bit keen on debut at Kempton on the AW this month, but should have learned from that run. Nicely related daughter of Dansili should improve.

Form: 5

(7)

Say Nothing⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 73

8/1

More exposed than a few of these after five starts, twice finishing second Kempton (1m, AW) and Haydock (1m3½f, good to soft). Up against it on these terms however.

Form: 825-028

Forecasts

Litigious (4/6), Inclyne (2/1), Dubious Affair (5/1), Say Nothing (8/1), Pensee (16/1), Misty Breese (50/1), Just Heather (100/1), Leannes Lady (100/1), Lots Ov (100/1)

While stall nine of nine isn't what connections would have hoped for, it is still hard to overlook the claims of impressive Goodwood winner LITIGIOUS. John Gosden's Lawman filly could be back on the Sussex Downs for a Group 2 soon and can make it 2-2 before that, despite the draw. Inclyne, Dubious Affair and Pensee are amongst the potential improvers that can fight it out for minor honours.
