Three wins in productive 2021 and back to best from good draw when adding to her tally over 7f at Chester last month. Not in the same form having a rare start over 6f there last Saturday and she's fancied to get back on track here.
|
Comfortably opened her account in a Lingfield maiden on final 3-y-o start and returned to action with a creditable fourth at Kempton on just her second handicap start (sporting a first-time hood). Headgear quickly discarded and not discounted if building on that effort.
|
Looked progressive when winning novices at Windsor and Goodwood but ended last season with 2 below-par efforts and beat only one home on handicap bow/return at latter track in April.
|
From a good family and was much improved from her debut when landing 1m Nottingham maiden in October. Faded to finish well held in 1¼m Newmarket listed on reappearance and fared little better on handicap debut at Sandown 5 weeks ago (too keen). Tongue tie applied.
|
Second on 7f Ayr debut last August and having had excuses on reappearance there in April (ran without her left fore shoe), got back on track when fourth at Ripon just over 7 weeks ago. Well-bred filly who has had a wind op and can take a step forward now moving into handicaps.
|
Won Southwell minor event on final start for Roger Varian but failed to beat a rival in pair of handicap starts on turf for Chelsea Banham. Fared little better on yard debut at Yarmouth recently so she's easily opposable.
|
Has shaped well numerous times this year, not for the first time moving into contention threateningly but doing so too soon when runner-up at Chester last week. There are certainly races in her from this sort of mark so she's one to be interested in.

Forecasts
Poet's Magic (15/8), Rani Of Jhansi (9/4), Jilly Cooper (5/1), Cet Horizon (9/1), Breaking Light (11/1), Social Contact (16/1), Piffle (18/1)
This seemingly revolves around JILLY COOPER, who has been knocking at the door this term (placed last 3 starts), and back against her own sex gets the verdict to prove that there are races in her from this sort of mark. Poet's Magic didn't appreciate a rare start over 6f at Chester last week so she can chase the selection home back up in trip, with handicap debutante Breaking Light completing the shortlist.
- Jilly Cooper5/1
