British EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 1m 10.49s

(2)

Beaujolais Nouveau^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 80

11/1

Ended 2025 out of sorts and has beaten only one home on both starts this year. First-time cheekpieces need to help spark a revival.

Form: 5300-05

(6)

Lebron Power³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| D

18/1

Fairly useful form, making it 3-6 for her 2-y-o campaign when battling well to shade a tight finish in 6f Newbury nursery (heavy; also won on good to firm) in October. Presumably needed the run on last month's Newmarket reappearance and could fare a lot better now.

Form: 40101-0

(1)

Powdering¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Planas| T: M Herrington| OR: 78| D

17/2

Placed in 3 of her last 4 starts, albeit she was beaten 9 lengths when third (Anaisa fifth) of 11 at Newmarket (6f, good) 16 days ago.

Form: 692033

(7)

Shallow^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 77| D

7/2

Front-runner who was revitalised in cheekpieces (retained) when narrowly denied on 7f Yarmouth reappearance 19 days ago. Likely to go well if the headgear continues to work.

Form: 6-25692

(5)

Alpine Girl^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| D

11/1

Made it 3-7 since joining Julie Camacho when getting on top towards the finish over 5f at Pontefract (good) 18 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 131-961

(9)

Anaisa¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

5/1

Bagged a C&D listed event at the end of last summer but it didn't require any more than a fairly useful effort. Creditable fourth on 6f Pontefract reappearance last month but not seen to best effect at Newmarket (Powdering narrowly ahead in third).

Form: 1309-45

(8)

Saffron Dandy⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S D Bowen| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

11/2

Made a successful handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton in January and followed up at Lingfield (6f). Has found life tougher the last twice, although latter sixth at Newcastle came in a competitive handicap on Good Friday. Turf winner last year.

Form: 60-1166

(3)

Cotai Belle³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

22/1

Successful twice as a juvenile. Left with a lot to do after being dropped in from a low stall when eighth of 13 on C&D reappearance (good) 31 days ago. May come on for the run.

Form: 11009-8

(4)

Space Bear¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| BF| D

11/4

Has made a bright start for this yard, showing improved form when justifying market confidence in good style at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month. Not in quite the same form when third under a penalty at Kempton 9 days later but continues to look well treated on the Yarmouth form.

Form: 232513

Forecasts

Space Bear (11/4), Shallow (7/2), Anaisa (5/1), Saffron Dandy (11/2), Powdering (17/2), Beaujolais Nouveau (11/1), Alpine Girl (11/1), Lebron Power (18/1), Cotai Belle (22/1)

SPACE BEAR had possible excuses when third on the all-weather last time and continues to look well treated on the form of her Yarmouth win prior to that. Shallow was back on her game when second at Yarmouth last time and is feared most ahead of Alpine Girl, who has compiled a good record since joining Julie Camacho.
