Pennine Hills¹⁴

10/3

Promising type. 11/4, won 9-runner maiden (11/4) at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on debut 14 days ago, kept up to work. Likely to improve and can make her mark at a higher level.

Form: 1

Sophie's Star⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: K R Burke| OR: 89| D

9/4

Fairly useful filly who has won at Thirsk and Beverley this year. Respectable second of 10 back at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, going off too hard. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 412212

Forecasts

Sophie's Star (9/4), Ladies Church (3/1), Pennine Hills (10/3), Orinoco River (7/2), Impeachd Alexander (15/2), Kimbah (250/1)

PENNINE HILLS made her winning debut over 6f but she had that race in safe keeping a fair way out so the shorter trip now shouldn't be an issue and she can take the step up to listed company in her stride for the Joseph O'Brien team. Ladies Church accounted for Orinoco River when winning her maiden a fortnight ago and can provide the chief threat ahead of British raider Sophie's Star.
