Cashmores Metals 150th Anniversary Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 19:00 | Winning time: 1m 28.86s

(9)

Gentle Fire¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: T Hamilton| T: S Drinkwater

300/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Tenth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (125/1) 17 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 50

(8)

Silver Bullet Lady³⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H & R Charlton

10/3

Promising type. 7/1, won 7-runner minor event at Salisbury (5f, good) on sole 2-y-o start, despite a tardy start. 12-month absence to overcome, but she possesses potential and is every inch a leading contender.

Form: 1-

(1)

Aurora Papillon²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: B J Meehan

80/1

Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 8

(11)

Dawahy²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

250/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event (250/1) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 7 months and, like many from this yard, it's likely that she'll be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route in due course.

Form: 086-

(6)

Hannah's Return²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: G Brown

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D 27 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 00

(10)

Lady Eros¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

10/11

Promising individual. 6/1, second of 9 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better here with improvement on the cards.

Form: 2

(5)

Mary Jane Clarke¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Emma Taff⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good, 250/1) 13 days ago. Down in trip and it's very difficult to envisage her making an impact.

Form: 07

(7)

Melody Cher²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Sir Michael Stoute

5/2

Promising type. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good, 16/1) on sole start at 2 yrs. Well-bred and in good hands, she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 7-

(4)

Mumma Mac¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, seventh of 14 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 165 days and she's another for whom handicaps may provide greater opportunities in due course. Yard also saddles Tango Tonight.

Form: 47-

(2)

Tango Tonight¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Louis Steward| T: H Morrison

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in minor event at this C&D (10/1) in November. Type to do better as a 3-y-o, particularly when her attention is turned to handicaps.

Form: 93-

(3)

You Are Everything³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 34 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 55

Forecasts

Lady Eros (10/11), Melody Cher (5/2), Silver Bullet Lady (10/3), Citrus Grove (10/1), Tango Tonight (16/1), Mumma Mac (16/1), Aurora Papillon (80/1), You Are Everything (100/1), Dawahy (250/1), Gentle Fire (300/1), Hannah's Return (300/1), Mary Jane Clarke (300/1)

Having shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up in a Newbury maiden on debut last month, LADY EROS looks the way to go. Silver Bullet Lady did well to make a winning start to her career at Salisbury last spring and she will be a threat if fully tuned-up for this assignment, while Melody Cher is likely to leave her 2-y-o debut form well behind in time and she is third choice.
