Quickstep Lady³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| D

15/8

Good efforts since opening her account at Goodwood last term, runner-up having conceded first run at Wolverhampton 35 days ago. This stiffer track will suit.

Form: 3212-32

(4)

Angel Of The Glen⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

11/2

Gleneagles filly who was successful on two of her three starts last season and returned with a creditable second in a handicap at Newcastle 44 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 161-2

Gale Force Maya^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 85

4/1

Consistent type who was thereabouts from this sort of mark several times last sesaon and should strip fitter for a respectable return at Redcar. Definite player.

Form: 32230-4

(3)

Red Poppy²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79

11/4

Winner at Newcastle in December and has held form since, shaping better than the result (met trouble) when seventh of 18 over C&D 27 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Form: 813-447

(5)

Arabic Charm¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 78| BF

7/1

Has some solid 3-y-o form and has been given a chance by the handicapper ahead of this return from 6 months off, so capable of getting involved if she's ready to go.

Form: 432383-

Eponina⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| D

40/1

Has struggled so far this term and looks up against it from out of the weights.

Form: 133-867

Forecasts

Quickstep Lady (15/8), Red Poppy (11/4), Gale Force Maya (4/1), Angel Of The Glen (11/2), Arabic Charm (7/1), Eponina (40/1)

RED POPPY returned to turf with a most encouraging display when seventh over C&D last time, sure to have finished closer with a clear run, so she may well be able to take this if getting the breaks. Quickstep Lady and Angel of The Glen are both likeable fillies who may not have reached their peak just yet, so they're considered dangers.
