Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 18:25 | Winning time: 1m 11.94s

(1)

Lady Of Andros³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 89| D

7/2

Improving since joining new connections, finishing second in two consecutive 6f handicaps. Unlucky second of 13 in handicap at York (16/1) latterly, caught in a pocket too long when going well. Remains of plenty of interest.

Form: 458-422

Shallow⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 81| D

3/1

4-time winner on AW. Too free when well held in the Kensington Palace Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot on turf debut but wasted little time getting back on track when fourth of 9 in 7f handicap here last week. Drop back to 6f shouldn't be an issue and could well be in the thick of the action.

Form: 123304

(5)

The Third Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 84

7/1

Won a 7f Southwell maiden in April but not up to better company the last twice. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 6-1286

(3)

Greydreambeliever^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 84| D

20/1

Won on debut at York in July 2024 but unsuccessful in 5 subsequent runs, finishing last of 13 in a handicap at York (18/1) 35 days ago when racing too freely. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Form: 15-2060

(7)

Arabian Leopard²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: D M Simcock| OR: 81

11/4

Improved to win 7f handicap at Newmarket (Rowley) in May but ran poorly when 22nd of 25 at Ascot (16/1) 28 days ago under a change of rider. Strong-travelling type who tries a sprint trip for the first time and may bounce back.

Form: 4-34120

(8)

Cuban Lady⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Tom Clover| OR: 77| D

7/2

Showed ability in two AW starts before winning 8-runner novice at Windsor (6f, 17/2) 46 days ago, still green but well on top at finish. Open to further improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 2-31

Forecasts

Arabian Leopard (11/4), Shallow (3/1), Lady Of Andros (7/2), Cuban Lady (7/2), Angel Shared (6/1), The Third Star (7/1), Raneenn (8/1), Greydreambeliever (20/1)

LADY OF ANDROS is improving all the time and was unlucky not to win at York, caught in a pocket for too long, so she's well worth the chance to gain compensation. Cuban Lady is open to further improvement now venturing into handicap company, while Angel Shared proved game when winning over C&D 3 weeks earlier and ought to remain competitive.
