Backed up success over hurdles with victories in handicaps at Fairyhouse (1¾m) and Newbury (13f) in recent months. Another 3 lb higher but further progress can't be discounted in current mood.
|
Four-time winner for Andrew Balding. Better effort for new yard this term when 2½ lengths fifth of 7 to reopposing Night Sparkle at Newbury (13f, good) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop.
|
Scored twice over 1½m last spring. Creditable efforts this term but remains 2 lb above her last successful mark. First attempt at 1¾m.
|
Won over 2m at Ascot and on the Rowley Course here last autumn. Performed with credit when placed 3 times back on the Flat this summer but latest Ascot run was disappointing. Bounce back needed in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces).
|
Has run with credit in defeat this term but remains 2 lb above the mark she defied in a less competitive renewal of this race last year.
|
Much improved to win easily on handicap debut in 17-runner event at Newbury in May. Not up to the King George Handicap at Royal Ascot the following month but back on track with her sights lowered when runner-up back at Ascot (1½m) 5 weeks ago. Up in trip.
|
Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year when seeing off 7 rivals in a 1½m Class 5 here 15 days ago. 5 lb higher in a stronger race now and also has stamina to prove.
|
Winning start for this yard over 2m at Ripon in June but she's failed to reproduce that form since, beaten under 13 lengths when fourth at Hamilton (13f) a fortnight ago.
|
Progressive form, proving well suited by the step up to 1½m when comfortably getting off the mark in novice company at Kempton 10 days ago. Likely more to come now stepping up in trip again for handicap debut.
|
Resumed with 1¼m success at Chepstow in June and placed in handicaps on next 2 starts, latterly behind Night Sparkle at Newbury (13f). Easy to put a line through her run in a Goodwood Group 2 since. Cheekpieces added.
|
Nathaniel filly who is going the right way, winning 11f Kempton novice and 2m Doncaster handicap this summer. Good third over this trip at Sandown last time. Ought to figure again.

Forecasts
Mistressofillusion (2/1), Night Sparkle (9/2), Grand Providence (13/2), Haseefah (17/2), Greysful Storm (17/2), Malakahna (10/1), Single (12/1), Sid's Annie (16/1), Divina Grace (18/1), Haizoom (22/1), Secret Shadow (25/1)
If there's one in this line-up which could be well ahead of its mark it's surely MISTRESSOFILLUSION, who won readily in novice company recently and can follow up on handicap debut for the very much in-form Ralph Beckett stable. Fellow 3-y-o Grand Providence is second choice ahead of the thriving Night Sparkle.
