Sky Bet Proud To Support ROR Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 17:46 | Winning time: 2m 0.95s

(1)

Zapphire^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 83

3/1

Cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap (11/4) at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) 27 days ago. Did that readily and a 4 lb rise may not stop her if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Form: 034-331

(3)

Lunar Eclipse⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 13/2, ran poorly when seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (1m) on reappearance 49 days ago. Can only watch this time.

Form: 1/538-7

(7)

Roarin' Success³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 79

9/2

Winless since taking a 1m Ascot handicap in July 2023. Better effort this term when fourth of 6 back at Ascot (1m) but it's not a performance which suggests she's likely to snap her losing run now.

Form: 2639-04

(8)

Typical Woman^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75

14/1

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1½m, 20/1) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 420-055

(2)

Epidavros¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 72| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in C&D handicap (good, 7/1) 10 days ago. Largely consistent.

Form: 13-5273

(5)

Surprised³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 80| BF

7/1

Won a 7.5f Beverley novice last autumn and 7f Catterick reappearance was encouraging considering she didn't look at home on the course. Likely improver now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 41-2

(6)

Penelope's Sister²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| C

14/1

Course winner. 11/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) under Lauren Young 25 days ago. Did that readily but effectively running off 13 lb higher here (including 6 lb out of handicap).

Form: 123-371

(10)

Hackney Diamonds⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 71

40/1

7/1, last of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (7f, soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Has a decent claimer taking 5 lb off but still not an easy one to fancy.

Form: 1083-60

Forecasts

Zapphire (3/1), Epidavros (10/3), Lunar Eclipse (4/1), Roarin' Success (9/2), Viennoise (6/1), Surprised (7/1), Penelope's Sister (14/1), Typical Woman (14/1), Bassadanza (20/1), Hackney Diamonds (40/1)

A 4 lb rise may not stop ZAPPHIRE if the headgear continues to work. Ed Bethell's Surprised has the profile of a likely improver now moving into handicaps and is feared most ahead of reliable C&D scorer Epidavros.
