Betfair EBF Reprocolor Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 2m 19.77s

(5)

Tonyx²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: E Walker| OR: 86| D

10/1

Landed both starts in novice events as a 3-y-o, latterly under a penalty at Newcastle in November. Back on track when fifth in handicap at Chester recently and this more galloping track should suit.

Form: 11-65

(6)

Sun Bear⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

11/4

Well-bred filly who took her record to 2 from 3 when comfortably landing a Windsor maiden in July. More to come back up in trip for handicap debut, so strong claims.

Form: 2-81

(8)

Sister Midnight²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jamie Gormley| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75

18/1

Shaped well from an easing mark when seventh of 15 in handicap at Hamilton last month and can be excused a lesser effort just 2 days later. Not one to write off.

Form: 1-75075

(1)

Alpine Mistral^p⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 72| D

7/4

Progressive handicapper who completed a 4-timer with a bit in hand at Newmarket 6 days ago, so warrants plenty of respect under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 941111

(4)

Salsada²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 76

9/1

Opened account at third attempt when landing a fillies' minor event at Newcastle (1m) in February. Bred to relish this stiffer test and she needs considering off what looks a fair opening mark.

Form: 5-21

(3)

Rainbow Jet¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: R Ffrench| T: J Mackie| OR: 70

14/1

Still a maiden and largely below form in handicaps this season. Has slipped in the weights but still needs to show more.

Form: 2-64995

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Alpine Mistral (7/4), Sun Bear (11/4), Polyphony (9/2), Arctic Fox (8/1), Salsada (9/1), Tonyx (10/1), Rainbow Jet (14/1), Sister Midnight (18/1)

SUN BEAR got her career back on track when scoring in a maiden at Windsor in July and, with the return to this trip in her favour, she could prove better than an opening mark of 82. A case can be made for most of the others, but the 5-timer seeking Alpine Mistral could pose the main threat ahead of Polyphony.
