Ladbrokes Football Acca Boosty EBF Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 18:45 | Winning time: 1m 47.99s

(6)

Bubble And Squeak¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: B A Curtis| T: S Kirk| OR: 87| D

9/4

Won well contested Ascot mile handicap in the spring and has run respectably most starts since without getting her head back in front. Nearest the finish when fifth over 1m at Lingfield last time, and extra yardage here in her favour.

Form: 460545

Innamorare²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 83

15/8

Goes well at Dundalk, and bounced back to her best when beating Katiymann over 1m there last time. Had nothing to spare there, but has been found a decent opportunity against her own sex here.

Form: 270001

(2)

Stay Classy^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 83

5/1

Quite highly tried on occasion, and hard to place, but back to form when winning by a neck from Zafaranah over 1m at Lingfield last time, getting a good run up the inner to prevail in a bunch finish. Only 1lb higher for that, which is fair.

Form: 706991

(3)

Cupboard Love⁴⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78

14/1

Won at Haydock in July, but hard to predict, and she has beaten just one rival in three starts since. Could bounce back, but impossible to back her with any confidence.

Form: 141055-

Railport Dolly^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: L P Keniry| T: T D Barron| OR: 72

8/1

Good second over 1¼m at Redcar in October, but she has not run so well in two starts since, and had no excuses having dictated terms at Newcastle last time.

Form: 337268

(7)

Ruby Gates³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 66| CD

16/1

Won a claimer over 1m1½f here in August, but below her best in handicaps in two starts since, and while she's dropped 3lb for those runs, that is offset by having to run from out of the handicap here.

Form: 039188

(5)

Peruvian Lily⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 69

8/1

Nine-race maiden who has shown patchy form this year for Joseph Murphy in Ireland. New yard does well with similar types, but she failed to improve at the first time of asking at Chelmsford, and may need a little more time.

Form: 634960

Forecasts

Innamorare (15/8), Bubble And Squeak (9/4), Stay Classy (5/1), Railport Dolly (8/1), Peruvian Lily (8/1), Cupboard Love (14/1), Ruby Gates (16/1)

Innamorare and Stay Classy are last-time out all-weather winners, and of obvious interest, but neither of them had anything to spare in victory, and preference is for topweight BUBBLE AND SQUEAK, who has been facing sterner opposition for most of the year, and deserves to get a change of luck after some tough assignments.
