Won readily at Newmarket (July course) in June and made very short work of weaker opposition back there (12f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Hiked up 10 lb for that emphatic success and she shouldn't be underestimated back against 3-y-os.
|
Stepped up on her juvenile form when readily landing a course handicap (10.2f) in April and improved further when doubling her tally for the year in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) just over 6 weeks ago. Back up in trip and has to be respected returned to this track.
|
Was unlucky to bump into Sea Theme (a listed winner at York in Ebor week) over C&D in July and didn't need to improve to go one better at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut back up in trip and fancied to kick on now up and running.
|
Improving Saxon Warrior filly who got off the mark at Lingfield (12f, AW) in July and followed up in a thin race on her handicap debut at Goodwood (12f, good) 3 weeks ago. Is in top hands and surely has plenty more to offer.
|
Proved well suited by the step up to 1½m when getting off the mark in novice company at Kempton last month. Unable to improve further/justify favouritism on handicap debut at Newmarket (14f, good) 10 days later but fancied to continue her progress back at 1½m with cheekpieces applied.
|
Has improved since switched to handicaps, following narrow Wolverhampton success with creditable efforts on all 3 subsequent starts, latest when beaten by a pair of stronger stayers at Goodwood (16f, good) 3 weeks ago. Folly to discount with Buick on board for the first time.

Forecasts
Cherry (11/8), Mistressofillusion (7/2), Queen Emma (9/2), There's The Door (8/1), Reina Del Mar (9/1), Flower Of Dubai (10/1)
Another small field for this valuable contest and Ralph Beckett looks to hold a pair of aces in CHERRY and Mistressofillusion. The former didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a Goodwood maiden last month and, sure to have plenty more to offer, she gets the nod to make a winning start to life in handicaps ahead of her stablemate, who can continue her progress back at 1½m with first-time cheekpieces applied. Queen Emma gets the nod for third spot.
