Equi's Exquisitely Irresistible Ice-Cream Fillies' Handicap

(1)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 85

Latest win at Carlisle in May. 12/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at York (6f, good) 22 days ago. Big player in this less competitive affair.

Form: 413356

(2)

Pearl Of Qatar^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 75| CD

Three wins this year, including over C&D. Recent runs only respectable but she is back below her last winning mark if a change of headgear sparks her.

Form: 563460

Lady Celia^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| C| D

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, creditable fourth from out of the handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 11 days ago. Goes off her proper mark this time and unlikely to be far away.

Form: 222574

Rose Bandit^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| C| D

Three wins from 14 runs this year, including one over 5f here. Creditable third of 6 over C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago but she is 4 lb out of the handicap on this occasion.

Forecasts

Lady Celia (6/4), Rose Bandit (5/2), Pearl Of Qatar (7/2), Ey Up It's Maggie (9/2)

EY UP IT'S MAGGIE has held her own in some deeper races than this at York on her last 2 starts and can return to winning ways back in calmer waters. Pearl of Qatar is starting to look nicely treated again and can chase Tony Coyle's filly home.
