Mistress Quickly23
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR:  88| CD
6/1
Won this race a year ago, and seems to be coming to the boil at present, following a solid third at Carlisle with a nose second of 8 to Okool at Salisbury last time, clear of the rest. Up 3lb, but solid claims nonetheless.

8/1
Genuine and reliable handicapper who scored three times in 2017, and found further improvement to land a 1¾m handicap at Chelmsford last time. Unexposed as a stayer, and may do better yet.

16/1
Won a 1m3f handicap at Windsor a year ago, and bettered comeback effort when 2½L third of 5 to Phantasmic at Beverley last time. Needs another step forward to score here, but longer trip should suit.

15/8
Below expectations at Beverley on penultimate start, but produced a chunk of improvement on handicap debut when winning 1½m event at Newmarket by 6L from a subsequent winner. 10lb rise for that win looks very fair in hindsight.

Saving Grace14
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR:  84
6/1
Won a 1¼m Lingfield maiden on return, and progressed again when winning on handicap bow at Doncaster (1½m). Longer trip will suit, and she is expected to continue her race-by-race improvement. Shortlisted.

14/1
Much improved on return when winning 1½m novice at Chepstow by a nose from Galmarley, and stepped up again when third to impressive winner Pilaster at Kempton last time. Opening mark looks fair.

Improved from debut when nose second of 11 to Roystonia in minor event at Chepstow, and finished ahead of that rival (receiving 6lb) when second to Pilaster at Kempton last time. Should have more to offer.

Won a couple of AW handicaps in the spring, but has found it tougher on turf since, albeit out of her depth in the Lingfield Oaks Trial when last seen. This is more realistic, at least.

Forecasts

Rococo (15/8), Galmarley (7/2), Mistress Quickly (6/1), Saving Grace (6/1), Lady Bergamot (8/1), Lady of Shalott (8/1), Roystonia (14/1), Di Alta (16/1), Casima (25/1)

15:05 Newbury - 20 July 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Last year's winner Mistress Quickly is peaking at the right time as she bids for a repeat, but she needs a career best to defy some progressive three-year-old fillies. Rococo and Saving Grace both improved to win handicaps at the first time of asking, and are respected, but the Kempton race won by Pilaster early this month appeals as very strong form, and the placed horses, GALMARLEY and Roystonia appear very fairly treated stepping out of novice company.
  1. Galmarley
  2. Roystonia
  3. Rococo
