Matchbook Time To Move Over Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 16:31 | Winning time: 2m 19.66s

(9)

Maximum Effect²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 79| CD

9/4

Placed on all starts to date, and produced her best effort to land a C&D maiden last time. Beaten on her handicap debut prior to that, but capable of better and shortlisted.

Form: 3-2231

(4)

Capriolette¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 73

12/1

Won over an extended 1¼m at Nottingham in August, and ran well when second to easy winner Gamesters Icon at Bath (1m) last time. Step back up in trip should be in her favour.

Form: 814262

(10)

Freckles^h⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73

12/1

Gained her second win of the year at Chepstow in September, and ran creditably under a penalty when second of 8 in a 1¼m handicap at Brighton last time. Will continue to give a good account, and one to consider.

Form: 107212

(8)

Geranium²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 73| C

9/1

Course winner (1m) has been in good form on turf of late this summer, but handicapper has reacted accordingly, and latest fifth over C&D suggests others are a little better treated.

Form: 711225

(6)

Jamaican Jill²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: W R Muir| OR: 72

12/1

Has improved in 1¼m AW handicaps the last twice, finishing second at Chelmsford in March and third at Lingfield the following month. Entitled to need this run after a lengthy break, though.

Form: 6/3-8723

(3)

Voi^t⁹⁷

25/1

Not at her best since winning at Yarmouth in May, but back to winning mark, and possible that a recent breathing operation will enable her to recapture her best.

Form: 217445

(2)

Sashenka³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: S Kirk| OR: 75

7/2

Has improved for the step up to 1½m the last twice, winning at Newcastle in September. Seen to best effect there and now 3lb higher, but can't be ruled out.

Form: 218641

(12)

Perfect Number¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 75

8/1

Yet to build on the promise of her winning debut at Chelmsford in September, but not seen to best effect after being hampered after the start last time, and possible she'll show the expected improvement now handicapping.

Form: 135

(1)

Dubious Affair²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Quinn| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 74

14/1

Has been knocking on the door, but not really progressing, and only a respectable fourth to Maximum Effect in a C&D maiden last time. Needs to dig in.

Form: 573224

(5)

Margie's Choice^b,h,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: M Madgwick| OR: 68| C

33/1

Been out of sorts for a while, but hinted at a return to form when fourth of 13 to Trailboss in a C&D handicap last time. Needs to show she can build on that.

Form: 708004

(11)

Miss M²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: W R Muir| OR: 63| D

10/1

In good form at present, and comes here having finished second in a pair of 1½m handicaps here on her last two runs. Takes a step up in class now, though, and will do well to maintain her sequence.

Form: 369422

Royal Star¹⁹⁰

T: H & R Charlton J: Jason Watson

Forecasts

Maximum Effect (9/4), Sashenka (7/2), Perfect Number (8/1), Geranium (9/1), Miss M (10/1), Royal Star (10/1), Capriolette (12/1), Freckles (12/1), Jamaican Jill (12/1), Dubious Affair (14/1), Voi (25/1), Margie's Choice (33/1)

MAXIMUM EFFECT needs to improve to win back in handicap company, but she has a positive profile and is suited by C&D, so is taken to do so. Royal Star and Perfect Number are a couple of handicap debutants who could well prove better than they've shown in qualifying, and are shortlisted accordingly.
