Smart filly who boasts an impressive record on synthetics, adding to her tally in 6-runner listed race at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago. Rider takes off handy 7 lb returned to handicaps and she looks sure to play a lead role again.
|
Ended losing run at Dundalk (7f) in January and not disgraced either start since, likely to have benefited from stronger gallop when third of 6 in minor event back at that venue 3 weeks ago. However, she's yet to defy a mark this high.
|
Admirable mare who was a good second in C&D conditions' event 12 months ago. Consistent without tasting success subsequently, second of 9 to Shades of Summer in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago, conceding first run. Likely to give it her best shot again.
|
Four wins from 8 runs last year, the latest at Southwell (1m) in December. 5/1, respectable 2½ lengths third of 8 to Shades of Summer in handicap at this C&D 88 days ago, not ideally placed. That may not prove her limit on AW.
|
Three wins from 8 runs last year. 2/1, creditable 2¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Shades of Summer in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago, headed final 100 yds. First-time hood may help her settle better and not underestimated.
|
C&D winner. 3/1, completed hat-trick when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago, by length from Aramis Grey, kept up to work. Clearly thriving and 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent her going well again on that evidence.
|
Did well at 3 yrs, winning 4 times and improved furhter on AW since the turn of the year, completing quick-fire hat-trick at Kempton (6f) in February. Not in quite the same form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. This rates tougher again.
|
Has done well on AW upon joining this yard, career best when winning 8-runner C&D handicap 16 days ago, closed down final 100 yds and just holding on. Nudged up just 1 lb and thriving but this much tougher up in class.
|
Capitalised on much-reduced mark at Kempton (1m) in February but again started very slowly and never figured when seventh of 9 in handicap back at that venue 37 days ago. Passed over here operating from out of the weights.

Forecasts
Nine Tenths (7/4), Shades Of Summer (7/2), Wild Side (6/1), Just A Spark (8/1), Cloud Cover (10/1), Aramis Grey (10/1), Sibyl Charm (16/1), Hodd's Girl (16/1), Smiling Sunflower (100/1)
NINE TENTHS enhanced her already excellent strike rate on synthetics when landing a 6-runner listed event at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and, with her rider taking off a handy 7 lb returned to handicaps, she can reverse form with Shades of Summer on these more favourable terms than when the pair met over C&D on New Year's Day. The latter-named is thriving though and respected, with Cloud Cover and Wild Side others expected to be thereabouts.
