Shadwell Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes (Group 3)

Off time: 15:13 | Winning time: 1m 15.11s

(14)

Alcohol Free¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| D

13/2

Looked a useful prospect when making a successful start to her career at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. More to come and can make her presence felt up in class.

Form: 1

(4)

Alicestar⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| D

20/1

Well on top at the finish when making a successful debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 43 days ago. That bare form is nothing special but she is open to progress.

Form: 1

(10)

Amor De Mi Vida^p1¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 84| D

22/1

Confirmed promise of her debut when landing 6f York maiden in July but she was only fifth when upped to listed company at Newbury last month. Will need to improve for first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 215

(7)

Deise Blue¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 79| D

40/1

Improved for debut when shading tight finish in 6f Newbury novice (good to soft) 19 days ago. May do better again.

Form: 41

Dickiedooda³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 99

15/2

Two wins in Ireland, including a 5f Cork listed. Not in the same form when only fifth at Naas since but yard's runners over here are always respected. First run beyond 5f.

Form: 1015

(13)

Fairy Dust¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 96| D

12/1

Windsor novice winner who improved again when ¾-length second of 8 to Zoetic in listed race at Newbury (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago.

Form: 212

(11)

Happy Romance¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 97| D

11/4

Been a real moneyspinner for connections, winning Super Sprint at Newbury and 6f sales race at York on her last 2 starts. Definitely up to making her mark at Group 3 level.

Form: 61511

Illykato²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 81| D

10/1

Runner-up on debut and duly went one better at Windsor (6f, good) last month. Yet another in this line-up who likely has more to offer.

Form: 21

(9)

Papas Girl¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore

125/1

Showed promise when length third of 9 to reopposing Deise Blue in novice at Newbury (6f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Open to improvement but a big chunk of it will be required at this level.

Form: 3

(3)

Pornstar Martini¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: H Candy

20/1

Winner on 5f Chepstow debut (good to soft) 19 days ago. She did know her job pretty well but can still be expected to improve.

Form: 1

(5)

Rhythm¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 79

80/1

Came good at third time of asking in 5f Beverley novice 16 days ago but this much tougher and Happy Romance looks very much the yard first string.

Form: 681

(6)

Scarlet Bear¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 92

16/1

Promising third on debut and by no means disgraced in Queen Mary at Ascot (narrowly behind Happy Romance) and the Lowther at York since. Not discounted.

Form: 365

(8)

Time Scale⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| D

3/1

6f Newmarket listed winner in June. Beaten only ¾ length into fourth behind Dandalla in Group 2 back there in July and that form has been boosted a few times since. Leading claims.

Form: 7114

Noorban¹⁴

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: D O'Meara J: W Buick

Forecasts

Happy Romance (11/4), Time Scale (3/1), Alcohol Free (13/2), Dickiedooda (15/2), Illykato (10/1), Fairy Dust (12/1), Scarlet Bear (16/1), Alicestar (20/1), Pornstar Martini (20/1), Noorban (20/1), Amor De Mi Vida (22/1), Deise Blue (40/1), Rhythm (80/1), Papas Girl (125/1)

TIME SCALE's close fourth in Group 2 company at Newmarket last time reads well, with the second/third successful in pattern company since, and she's narrowly preferred to Happy Romance, who is bidding to provide Richard Hannon with a third win in this race in the last 4 years. Newbury debut winner Alcohol Free and Irish raider Dickiedooda are also respected.
