Bagged handicaps at Chelmsford and Newmarket this summer and just touched off back at the latter course (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. 1 lb nudge fair enough and should be firmly in the mix with conditions in her favour.
|
Backed up her Wolverhampton maiden success with victory in 6-runner handicap at Haydock in June. Solid fourth of 18 returned to this trip at York (good to firm) last time, despite a tardy start, and she's in with a shout.
|
Signed off 2-y-o campaign by winning a Newmarket nursery and placed all 6 starts in handicaps over 6f/7f this season, most recently finishing second in an 18-runner handicap at the York Ebor meeting (Peony back in fourth). Major player.
|
Now 9 lb lower than for her latest success at Ascot last summer but she's 0-8 this year and others look stronger.
|
Proved pretty consistent prior to resuming winning ways in a heavy-ground 7f Lingfield handicap last month. Not disgraced over the same C&D next time and she should have a part to play.
|
Won 6f Doncaster novice in July and, though turned over when odds on for handicap debut at Newmarket, she quickly got back on track when narrowly prevailing at that Suffolk venue (6f, good) 2 weeks later. 3 lb rise fair and this unexposed filly could have more to offer now upped to 7f.
|
Didn't do a great deal wrong in 7 starts as a juvenile for Kevin Ryan but failed to beat a rival home on belated seasonal reappearance for new yard at Windsor 11 days ago.
|
Progressive filly who had something to spare when landing a 6-runner event at Salisbury (7f, good) last month. Close third of 13 at Newmarket since (just behind the re-opposing runner-up Hot Chesnut) but more needed now that her new mark has kicked in.

Forecasts
Coco Jamboo (5/2), Swiss Star (3/1), Peony (7/2), Hot Chesnut (6/1), Twilight Dancer (9/1), Epsom Faithfull (12/1), Zabbie (16/1), Transfer Affection (33/1)
The unexposed SWISS STAR found some improvement when emerging on top in a desperately tight finish at Newmarket, and there's a good chance that this step up to 7f will help spark another step forward. Hot Chesnut looks very dangerous on the back of a near-miss and is next on the list ahead of the consistent Coco Jamboo and Zabbie.
- Swiss Star3/1
- Hot Chesnut6/1
- Coco Jamboo5/2
