5/4

Fastnet Rock filly scored at Newmarket in August before coming in last of 9 to Charlotte's Web in listed race (8/1) at York (11.8f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Could still have more to offer now going into handicaps.

13/2

Good second of 10 for her new yard in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 8/1) 16 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there with this step back up in trip a positive.

Brielle⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| BF

11/4

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Hamilton in July. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Leicester (10f, firm) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Very much one to consider.

11/1

Debut winner at Goodwood and not discredited when fourth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7.6f) 99 days ago on final run for William Haggas. Much respected on yard/handicap debut.

Naturalia¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: D W Whillans| OR: 65| C

12/1

Course winner. Latest win here in July. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to soft, 9/1) 15 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on stamina. Back down in trip and can't be ruled out.

15/2

Bagged a first win of 2025 in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. This C&D scorer must enter calculations despite being 4 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Forecasts

Aeolian (5/4), Charming Princess (9/4), Brielle (11/4), Donna Nook (13/2), Sophiesticate (15/2), Tsuki (11/1), Naturalia (12/1)

DONNA NOOK has made a positive start for David O'Meara and is fancied to build on her recent Southwell second and go one better with this step up to 1m 2f also a plus. Aeolian and Brielle are also fancied to be firmly in the picture in this intriguing fillies' handicap.
