British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 18:35 | Winning time: 1m 0.75s

(1)

Fox Hill^v⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 78| D

9/2

Bounced back to form in a big way in a first-time visor when winning 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) earlier in the month, bagging stand rail and unchallenged. Ran at least as well in defeat turned out under a penalty over C&D 9 days ago and should remain competitive.

Form: 089012

Atiyah^b³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: T D Barron| OR: 76| D

17/2

Produced a career best when making all at Chelmsford (5f) in March. Below form at Musselburgh but belatedly proved she's just effective on turf when resuming winning ways at Thirsk (5f) 35 days ago. Weighted to go well again.

Form: 424161

(6)

Foxy Rascal^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: G Boughey| OR: 80

9/2

Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, soft, 4/1) 18 days ago, though promised a bit more than she delivered.

Form: 2-73283

(2)

Sandbeck³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: E Bethell| OR: 80| BF| D

6/1

Took her career record to 2-3 when making a winning start for new trainer Ed Bethell in 5f Nottingham handicap (good to firm) in April, leading inside final 1f and always holding on. However, proved a disappointment back up in trip at Ripon the following month.

Form: 18-15

(5)

Kimngrace¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 80| C

6/4

Course winner who was well backed and improved when landing 6f handicap at Goodwood (good to firm) 15 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. A more truly-run race back at 5f won't be a problem and she's a big player up 3 lb.

Form: 4021-41

(4)

Vadamiah²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| BF| D

9/1

Has improved since switched to handicaps this spring, winning twice at Catterick (5f). Not ideally placed after stumbling at the start in pursuit of the hat-trick there last time, so well worth another chance.

Form: 555-114

Forecasts

Kimngrace (6/4), Foxy Rascal (9/2), Fox Hill (9/2), Havagomecca (5/1), Sandbeck (6/1), Atiyah (17/2), Vadamiah (9/1)

KIMNGRACE hasn't yet shown all she can and, with a more-truly run race back at 5f unlikely to pose a problem, she's taken to defy a 3 lb rise for Goodwood. Vadamiah is another 3-y-o going the right way and can have her latest run easily excused having stumbled at the start, while Atiyah is weighted to go well again judged on her AW form.
