British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 1m 11.1s

Bellosa^b1,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 96| C

18/1

Useful at 3 but hasn't looked quite in the same form this season, weakening over 1f out when tenth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Has something to prove on the back of that.

Form: 02-8780

Farhh To Shy⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 95| C| D

13/2

Won 3 times last year and picked up from where she left off when scoring in the style of a progressive filly on return at Doncaster (7f) in April. Shaped as if still in top form before appearing not to get home in big-field Royal Ascot handicap over 1m since and she remains one to be positive about.

Form: 1421-10

Cuban Breeze^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 89| D

17/2

Successful for the fifth time this year when narrowly outpointing subsequent winner Chipstead at Windsor last month. Hasn't done a great deal wrong in three starts since but the handicapper may just about have her measure for now.

Tarhib⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

10/3

Low-mileage daughter of Dark Angel who overcame a 13-week absence to score with a bit in hand at Yarmouth (6f) 9 days ago. 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing if she handles the pretty quick turnaround.

Form: 118-021

Azure Blue¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 89| D

2/1

Likeable filly who opened account in handicaps at Hamilton (6f) in June and justified cramped odds when taking a 4-runner event on the other course here in July. Solid fourth at York (6f) 18 days ago and it's likely this revised mark is within reach.

Loves Me Likearock²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 87| D

15/2

Dual AW winner at 2 yrs and has posted a number of solid efforts without getting her head infront this term, third of 13 in handicap back on AW at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago. However, likelihood is she will need to pull out a bit more.

Crazy Luck²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 84| D

9/1

Hit a purple patch during first half of the campaign, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Newbury/Chester. In her defence, she's had excuses all 3 starts subsequently and she's slowly easing in the weights again.

Form: 211964

Kape Moss⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 80| D

12/1

Dual sprint winner who ran just about her best race to date when edged out late at Doncaster (5f) 2 starts back. Faded out of things from a difficult draw at Newcastle (5f) recently but no easy task.

Form: 016320

Forecasts

Azure Blue (2/1), Tarhib (10/3), Farhh To Shy (13/2), Loves Me Likearock (15/2), Cuban Breeze (17/2), Crazy Luck (9/1), Kape Moss (12/1), Bellosa (18/1)

Judged on her latest effort at York where she wasn't seen to best effect, AZURE BLUE remains on a workable mark and is the most appealing of these. She appeared to have a bit left up her sleeve when outpointing Cuban Breeze on the July course on her penultimate start and is only 3 lb worse off with that rival here. Tarhib also won with a bit in hand back from a break at Yarmouth and she is an obvious threat under a penalty, while Farhh To Shy, given a break since Royal Ascot, is also feared.
