Ladbrokes EBF Fleur De Lys Fillies' Stakes (Listed) (AW Championships Fast-Track Qualifier)

Off time: 14:46 | Winning time: 1m 35.1s

(9)

Alnaseem³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: J Ferguson| OR: 90| D

12/1

Useful form when adding to the tally at Chelmsford (1m) in September. 14/1, well-beaten twelfth of 15 to Cloak of Spirits in listed race at Newmarket (8f, good) 34 days ago. This another difficult ask

Form: 214210

Cloak Of Spirits²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| OR: 111| D

1/1

Smart filly. 28/1, excellent 1¾ lengths third of 12 to Nazeef in Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket (8f, heavy) 26 days ago. Major player back at listed level making AW debut.

Dean Street Doll¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: D Menuisier| OR: 92| D

50/1

Useful form when landing handicap at Sandown (1m) in August. Heavy ground a feasible excuse when fourteenth of 15 to Thalyia in listed race (32/1) at Longchamp (9f, soft) 14 days ago.

Form: 943100

(3)

Elegant Light¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 91| D

33/1

Useful performer in France who ran well when 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Onassis in listed race at Goodwood (7f, heavy, 9/1) 18 days ago. However, this demands further improvement.

Form: 418-754

(12)

Farzeen⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 98

14/1

Dual winner in 2019 who ran up to best when third in listed Dick Hern stakes at Haydock (1m) on penultimate start. Too headstrong at Longchamp subsequently and no surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 0-43239

(10)

Hateya³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: J R Boyle| OR: 94| CD

66/1

Useful mare. C&D winner. 78/10, won 14-runner listed race at Bro (8f, good) 39 days ago by 1½ lengths from Eesha My Flower, staying on well. Booking of Buick a plus.

Form: 460491

(6)

Lavender's Blue²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 105| D

7/1

Smart filly. 40/1, 22½ lengths eleventh of 12 to Nazeef in Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket (8f, heavy) 26 days ago, finding little. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4-76330

(11)

Ummalnar^t1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| D

5/1

Shamardal mare. 7/1, 10 lengths eighth of 15 to Cloak of Spirits in listed race at Newmarket (1m) 34 days ago, left poorly placed. That was her first start for 15 months and she's not one to write off

Form: 113/61-8

(4)

Gypsy Whisper^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 89

125/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 16¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Onassis in listed race at Goodwood (7f, heavy, 9/1) 18 days ago, very slowly away. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 441108

(7)

Indie Angel^p⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 91| D

12/1

Useful filly. Latest win at Salisbury in August. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good, 8/1) 54 days ago. Gets a weight-for-age allowance but she does need to step up.

Form: 213187

(8)

Romsey²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 104

25/1

Useful filly. 16/1, 20¾ lengths tenth of 14 to Angel Power in Pride Stakes at Newmarket (10f, soft) 20 days ago, shaping as if needing the run. Return to 1m rates a likely plus now.

Form: 4513-50

(5)

Soffika¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 97

18/1

Promising type. Seventh of 15 in Sandringham handicap at Royal Ascot (1m) in June, making her challenge away from where the action unfolded. Given a break since and highly likely she has more to offer

Form: 12-7

Forecasts

Cloak Of Spirits (1/1), Ummalnar (5/1), Lavender's Blue (7/1), Indie Angel (12/1), Alnaseem (12/1), Farzeen (14/1), Soffika (18/1), Romsey (25/1), Elegant Light (33/1), Dean Street Doll (50/1), Hateya (66/1), Gypsy Whisper (125/1)

CLOAK OF SPIRITS deservedly regained the winning thread in a 1m listed event at Newmarket on her penultimate start and found further improvement when third in Group 1 Sun Chariot back at that venue last time. She gets the nod back in calmer waters, with low-mileage Soffika, 5-y-o mare Ummalnar and Lavender's Blue heading up the dangers.
