Joan Butcher 90th Birthday Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 15:23 | Winning time: 2m 34.94s

Rose Cotton²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 75| BF

9/4

New Bay filly looked a different model when scoring on handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January, and while she did plenty wrong when failing to land the odds there last time, she could resume progress now tried over a longer trip.

Form: 637-12

Scarlet Sunset^p¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: I Mohammed| OR: 74

9/4

Two-time Wolverhampton winner ran well when third there in October. Should prove as effective with cheekpieces back on, though a further 6-month absence suggests she hasn't been the easiest to train.

Form: 31/1533-

Schemaya¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

6/1

Remained fairly consistent after getting off the mark on handicap debut at Windsor in May and she should come on for her reappearance at Kempton last time. Needs considering dropping back down in grade.

Form: 33552-6

Twilight Moon^p¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73| CD

7/2

Consistent filly won 3 times in the second half of last year, latterly with a cosy C&D success in December, and she may add to her tally if returning in similar form.

Form: 144241-

Sea Of Charm^b³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 64| CD

14/1

Made it 3 wins from her previous 4 starts when successful over C&D on return and should hold her own in a slightly better race here, having still looked in top form (did too much too soon) when third at Wolverhampton last time.

Form: 5116-13

Phaedra¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 64| D

11/1

Won 3 times over middle distances for Richard Hannon and has already gone close twice in 3 starts for new yard, narrowly denied in a 9-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f) most recently.

Forecasts

Rose Cotton (9/4), Scarlet Sunset (9/4), Twilight Moon (7/2), Schemaya (6/1), Pershalla (13/2), Phaedra (11/1), Sea Of Charm (14/1)

Hard to discount any of these but TWILIGHT MOON was better than ever when scoring here in December and is taken to follow up. Rose Cotton somewhat blotted her copybook at Wolverhampton last time but is unexposed over this distance, while Schemaya looks interesting dropping back down in class.
