We're Back For Ladies Day Tomorrow Handicap

Off time: 21:00 | Winning time: 58.53s

(6)

Without Flaw²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 54

4/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Catterick (5f, good) 25 days ago, doing best work late on. Comes here on a handy mark and she's one to consider.

Form: 689-262

(8)

Art Of Fox⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 53| D

10/3

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 9/2) 6 days ago, readily. No surprise to see him turned out quickly under a penalty and definite claims if he can replicate that back on turf.

Form: 666541

(10)

Jamie Bond²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 52| D

8/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 29 days ago. Not dismissed from this sort of mark.

Form: 4-83905

(11)

Canaria Queen^p1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| D

11/4

Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to note.

Form: 45-7354

(2)

Azucena^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 51| D

17/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner minor event at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 15 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat returned to handicap company.

Form: 778-671

(12)

Sharp Call¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55

33/1

Maiden who has yet to replicate the promise displayed initially, weakening out of things when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago. Down in trip.

Form: 757884

(9)

Better^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 47| D

10/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared better than on his previous start when fourth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 12 days ago. Comes here operating from a career-low mark but he needs to cut out the tardy starts.

Form: 608504

(5)

Mrs Bagerran²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 46| D

5/1

Front runner who boasts just 2 wins from 44 starts but eased in weights and again not disgraced when fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good, 11/1) 25 days ago. Another holding each-way claims.

Form: 286-685

(1)

Brazen Belle²⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 45| CD

100/1

Winner in 2022 but well beaten on all 4 starts last season. Plenty to prove on this first start for 9 months.

Form: 60/0000-

(3)

Aurora's Doublesix³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: N Mechie| OR: 45

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fared no better than previously following a yard switch/11 months off when last of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Needs to step up significantly on that if she's to get involved.

Form: 009-8

Forecasts

Canaria Queen (11/4), Art Of Fox (10/3), Without Flaw (4/1), Mrs Bagerran (5/1), Jamie Bond (8/1), Azucena (17/2), Better (10/1), Ninety Nine (10/1), Latin Five (10/1), Sharp Call (33/1), Brazen Belle (100/1), Aurora's Doublesix (150/1)

ART OF FOX arrives easily one of the least exposed and was much improved when opening his account in good style at Chelmsford 6 days ago. He could well be the way to go under a penalty in the hope he can confirm that improvement back on turf. Without Flaw arrives in good heart and is next best. Canaria Queen and Leicester scorer Azucena are others to consider.
