Coral Beaten-By-A-Length Free Bet Fillies' Handicap

Gold Haze^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 90

200/1

Useful performer in France who finished 3½ lengths sixth of 7 to Penja in Group 3 Prix de Psyche at Deauville (9.9f) on final start in August. Changed hands for 12,000 gns thereafter but offered little on return when last of 15 at Sandown 24 days ago. Can only be watched at present.

Form: 2/3186-0

Flash Betty⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 92

66/1

Won 3 times at up to 7f as a 2-y-o and signed off with a good second in a Newmarket listed race (1m) in October. Very highly tried and not figured in handful of starts this term and whilst return to handicaps is a plus, her revised mark could well prove a stumbling block.

Form: 52-5040

(13)

Wilderness Girl²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| C

17/2

Landed 7f maiden at this meeting 12 months ago and, lightly-raced since, ran her best race when fourth in an 8-runner Haydock handicap (7f) 24 days ago. Harry Davies takes off valuable 5 lb once more but not ideally drawn out in 13.

Form: 417-04

Kings Joy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| D

6/1

AW debut winner in December and improved efforts in defeat this term, ninth in Sandringham (third home in group) at Ascot. Proved too keen when fifth of 10 back at that venue since and good gallop to aim at here will aid her cause.

Form: 1-3295

(9)

Flame of Freedom^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79

16/1

Successful 3 times over 7f during a steadily progressive 2-y-o campaign and, returned to Epsom, she ran up to best when close-up third of 6 in 7f handicap 12 days ago. Each-way player with cheekpieces reached for.

Crystal Caprice²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 87| D

5/2

Frankel filly who stepped up markedly on promise of first 2 starts when running out a dominant winner of a Yarmouth maiden (1m) 3 weeks ago. In excellent hands and she's the type to do better again now handicapping from very good draw. Big player.

Form: 5-61

(5)

System¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

11/1

Listed winner at 2 yrs who started the present campaign on a low-key note. However, returned to quicker ground/eased in weights, she bounced back to best when runner-up over 1m at Ascot 17 days ago, looking well suited by increase in trip. Not discounted.

Form: 80-8662

(11)

Outside World⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| C

25/1

All-the-way winner of small-field 6f novice/nursery contests last year and solid enough return when close-up fourth at Doncaster (1m) in April. Not in same form at Chester just 5 days later but bounce back not ruled out back from a break given yard's record here.

Form: 1019-47

(4)

Tamarama³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 83| D

8/1

Some good efforts prior to landing a Beverley maiden/Ripon handicap in the spring. Seemingly not 100% when trailing in last of 28 in Sandringham at the Royal Meeting last month but bounce back anticipated.

Form: 3-32110

(3)

My Silent Song²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 80| D

12/1

Gained second career success at Pontefract (1m) in June and, having not been disgraced when midfield in the Sandringham, she returned to her best when third at Beverley (8.5f) 24 days ago. Did hold every chance though, and this more competitive.

Form: 1-43103

(6)

Rainbow Colours¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| D

10/1

Improved effort to gain second victory at Ripon 2 starts back and maintained 100% record at 1m when following up at Chepstow 12 days ago, just holding on. Can give another good account but this understandably more demanding.

Form: 5-05711

(2)

Breaking Light¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K R Burke| OR: 77

9/2

Well-bred filly who showed fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in novice/maidens (excuses other start) and, following wind op, improved further to make winning handicap debut at Haydock (7f) 11 days ago, well on top finish. 5 lb higher now but likely she will have more to offer back at 1m.

Form: 2-541

Forecasts

Crystal Caprice (5/2), Breaking Light (9/2), Kings Joy (6/1), Tamarama (8/1), Wilderness Girl (17/2), Rainbow Colours (10/1), System (11/1), My Silent Song (12/1), Flame of Freedom (16/1), Eponina (16/1), Outside World (25/1), Flash Betty (66/1), Gold Haze (200/1)

CRYSTAL CAPRICE improved a ton when readily landing a Yarmouth maiden over this trip 3 weeks ago and, with further progress anticipated now handicapping, this well-bred filly is expected to prove a tough nut to crack from a handy draw in stall 1. Haydock scorer Breaking Light is feared with the return to 1m a plus, with Kings Joy and System completing the shortlist.
